Hello, I'm trying to upgrade a Red Hat 8 system to Fedora Core 2. A friend of mine who is experienced with RH/Fedora suggested this method to me; I've also seen it on this page under "Upgrading to Fedora Core 1:" http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Upgrading_Red_Hat_Linux_with_yum.html So I've installed the fedora-release RPM and am now doing the "yum upgrade" step, but I'm getting these errors: [root@mybox]# yum -y upgrade Gathering package information from servers Getting headers from: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - core Getting headers from: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - freshrpms Getting headers from: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Finding obsoleted packages Resolving dependencies .package SysVinit needs filesystem >= 2.2.4-1 (not provided) package gnome-vfs2 needs gnome-mime-data >= 2.0.0-11 (not provided) package Xtest needs XFree86 >= 4.2.0 (not provided) package Xtest needs XFree86 >= 4.2.0 (not provided) [root@mybox]# When I try to yum install filesystem or gnome-mime-data, it tells me they're already installed and the latest version. (Haven't tried to yum install XFree86 since it's huge and I don't want to mess with that till this is all figured out.) So what should I do here? I know that I can remove SysVinit, gnome-vfs2, and Xtest, but rpm -q --whatrequires tells me that lots of stuff depends on SysVinit and gnome-vfs2.
