Samuel Sieb answered my plea for help. Thanks! > First do "rpm --rebuilddb" to make sure the rpm database is consistent. > Run "systemd-cat --version" to make sure you're currently running 229. > If so, then do "rpm -e systemd-222-14". Then try the upgrade again. I was running 229 (fc24) as you expected. I then did as you suggested.

After system-upgrade, I still have 4599 total packages, 1233 of which are fc23. distro-sync reports 40 "requires" or "conflicts" and suggests --allowerasing. Trying that reports, Install 7 Packages Upgrade 1 Package Remove 1242 Packages Downgrade 2002 Packages It seems to be trying to put everything back to F23. "rpm -qa|sort" shows that almost all of the fc23 packages are paired with fc24 packages, both of which are installed. Is there any reason I can't just remove the redundant packages? > To find out what happened during the failed upgrade, run "dnf > system-upgrade log" to get a list of upgrade attempts. Then run "dnf > system-upgrade log <number>" to get the log. # dnf system-upgrade log The following boots appear to contain upgrade logs: -- no logs were found -- -- Dave Close -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
