If you have any ideas I'd like to hear them. A super epoch has
already
been suggested but that just masks the problem and may cause unwanted
downgrades. Any solution either involves severly limiting what kind
of
updates can be done or requiring network access during upgrades.
Does anaconda currently force installs of core packages such as yum?
This is quite important if the version in the old distro is newer than
that on the DVD.
No because anaconda has no idea if forcing it would actually result in
a working system.
