Given you are
trying to update via. yum, just enabling updates-testing should be the
most fun :). Or you can always just download the above yum, and use yum
shell to update everything else and yum via. the local file.
And how do I install an F-11 yum RPM in F-10, which lacks python 2.6?
I get the same thing with or without updates-testing for F-11.
As I said:
1. yum upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing
2. yumdownloader --repoid=updates-testing yum
cat <<EOL | yum shell
upgrade
install yum-3.2.23-3.fc11.noarch.rpm
run
EOL
#1 means you'll get all the other updates from updates-testing, #2 is
more typing.
In #2 one also needs --enablerepo=updates-testing instead of --repoid=...
and one must be very careful with typos. If Yum cannot find the
packages given to it via "install", it fails badly with an interrupted
transaction and (in case of F10 => F11) an unreadible RPM DB that
needs manual repair.
Thanks for the suggestions. However the first fails as before, and the
second fails due to libvte being broken, which I understand is being fixed.
