However the first fails as before, and the > second fails due to libvte being broken, which I understand is being fixed. For #2 you need to _disable_ updates-testing, that's why you enable it only for yumdownloader. Due to the vte breakage you cannot enable it permanently for the upgrade, but you also need the newer ntp* packages from updates-testing. The release of F11 could have been much smoother for those who upgrade via Yum. Violated upgrade paths are bad. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
