Updates have been pushed for a few packages in F10 updates and/or updates testing that have high NVRs than the corresponding rawhide NVRs. Yum won't update those packages. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal as skip broken would skip these and they would show up as orphans after the update and you could manually downgrade them. But because so much stuff depends on python the failure is complicated enough that skip broken can't deal with it effectively. (In my case there was an infinite loop where it tried to remove something, but that something was brought back in by a dependency, resulting in the same failing package set continually being retried.) If you uninstall a few key packages, you can get the update to work. Once the vast majority of packages have been updated, you can use package-cleanup --orphans to find problem packages and deal with them. And then you can probably also reinstall some or all of what you have to remove to get the update to work. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
