I was on a campaign to remove as many fc1* and fc2[0-8] packages as I assumed they were garbage that had not been collected. Also one or two were causing upgrade problem for exactly the reason you highlight. I found a fc26 package that I actually need, and various fc27 and fc28 packages that would cause the removal of needed or necessary fc29 packages. All others I deleted since any dependent packages that went were also no useful for me. I seems though that this mix of a few f27 and a number of f28 packages is normal for an f29 Rawhide, so that is fine. -- Russel. ========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
