When upgrading from Fedora 6 to 7, I got a bunch of errors of the form: Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package Although the document on the wiki suggests you may have to remove rhnlib and update, it fails to mention that that is because those aren't part of fedora 7 so you don't need them anymore, which would be comforting for someone doing the upgrades to know. However, that wasn't enough. What I needed to do was: rpm -e rhnlib up2date 4Suite authconfig firstboot-tui authconfig-gtk firstboot system-config-boot That got rid of all the packages that triggerred the python(abi) dependency, allowing me to do a yum update and reboot into Fedora 7. I was then able to reinstall these packages: yum install authconfig firstboot-tui authconfig-gtk firstboot So I would add a note to the FAQ suggesting removing all of those packages before the upgrade, and reinstalling the subset that still exist in Fedora 7 after the upgrade. I would also have the note mention that "Missing Dependency: python(abi)" error explicitly, so that people who see it will know what it's about and what to do.
Would you mind signing up for a Fedora account and doing the edit yourself? It hardly takes more than a few mins.
