I think this is the real problem If this hits yum or any package yum depends on you have no chance for dist-upgrade I had the problem updating f8->f9 eith openssl-dependencies of installed yum-version which was installed in a version yum did not resolve because installed yum has dependencie of installed openssl and the yum-version from f9 was not resolved as "to update". preupgrade did leave me with a unbootable system without a kernel after second try and finally i had to force the upgrade again form dvd - if this happens on a server you would wish to die :-) I think dist-upgrades with yum should be forced official because you can not upgrade a server from dvd or preupgrade because of downtime my experience is that upgrades with yum are much better if there are no broken dependencies because you can check and fix grub.conf, make manually updates, remove leaves and so on while the system is running and as sample apache serves his websites without downtime, so you have more time to look and think before you reboot and run into troubles. anaconda is a blackbox in this case -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAko/cggACgkQhmBjz394AnlfLACeJb50BGs8lSM6RtBI4XRhOV4Y RgsAnipX1IGn/9iYwt5fAD6T9o5q3pA1 =k3bM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
