Cleaning up after an aborted upgrade

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a machine where I tried to do a system-upgrade from F23 to F24. 
The download portion worked fine but after the reboot, the upgrade 
process aborted. I'd like to know why, but first I need to clean up the 
mess so I can try it again. Right now I have 4782 total packages 
installed including 1490 fc24 packages. I haven't checked all of them 
but it appears that all are paired with the same fc23 package.

Trying to repeat the download step, I get this result.

# dnf --allowerasing -y system-upgrade download --releasever 24
Last metadata expiration check: 0:23:15 ago on Tue Sep  6 15:53:47 2016.
Dependencies resolved.
Error: The operation would result in removing the following protected 
packages: systemd.

Evidently, there are two systemd packages installed:

# rpm -q systemd
systemd-222-14.fc23.x86_64
systemd-229-13.fc24.x86_64

No new kernel was installed and the machine is running fine as F23. But 
I'd like to get it upgraded...

I tried using "dnf history rollback" but that didn't work, reporting "A 
transaction cannot be undone". Since dnf won't erase the extra stuff, I 
can probably do it with something like, "rpm erase --force $(rpm 
-qa|grep fc24)" but that seems iffy. Better suggestions are very welcome.
