This is a partial list of what "yum check all" reports:Try package-cleanup --dupesYeah, that's what I found in the Fedora forums. So I tried it. Now the partition won't boot. package-cleanup --dupes removed the dupes..at least it said it was....but it also ran into a bunch of files it said were zero-length...what it did about them I don't know. Short version: the partition is now unbootable. So I am back in Fedora 18...where I think I'll stay for a while. I don't anticipate re-installing 19...at least not for a while.The only comforting thing is that this same problem could happen no matter what version you're running. :-) Since F19 is beta it isn't a big deal IMHO. I've had similar things go wrong, disk problems, and getting it fixed took time and effort....but I was able to recover. Yeah maybe I'll reinstall when 19 is released, Or maybe not. Thanks anyway for the suggestion - it seems it's about the only thing that could be done under the circumstances -- --Cheers-- |
