No, but I have 5 other machines to upgrade now that I know the problem... :) On another machine, if I do a full "yum upgrade", event-compat-sysv does indeed get pulled in. ...But that's not what I did. My laptop is rather limited in resources, "only" 512mb RAM and a couple GB free, so I figured it would be best to do a staged upgrade. First I decided to upgrade my key applications, "yum update galeon evolution". Through a long convoluted chain of dependencies, this ends up upgrading mkinitrd, which requires updating initscripts, which pulls in upstart. This resulted in a raft of file collisions with sysvinit, and fails during the transaction test. To get around it, I just "rpm -e --nodeps sysvinit" figuring upstart was supposed to replace it anyway. I assumed package dependencies would do their job and fix things or at the very least alert me to any problems. Obviously, this did not happen. After the first run, I did a full "yum update" to get the rest of the packages, this fails to bring in event-compat-sysv since I manually removed sysvinit, leaving you with an un-bootable system even though "package-cleanup --problems" indicates no problems.
