You may need to do this upgrade incremental. Also make sure that you
are running yum from a virtual terminal instead of through a
terminal in the GUI. Chances are that X will crash and yum will have
left a mess in the aftermath.
I prefer to upgrade the glibc items first and then everything
incrementally except do not update the kernel until the later
portion of the update.
I have a propensity to `yum update yum* rpm* cpio gpg` before I
update much else on the system...
That bit me this time.
I do not update yum initially because of past failures. I guess it is
still a good idea to wait until the bulk of packages is upgraded.
learning.
apparently the yum-3.2.8-2.fc9 rpm set got something wrong.
If it depends upon a certain version of python it should have pulled
it in or refused to pull in yum,
Actually, it does not seem to be a python problem so much as a problem
in yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-5.fc9.i386.rpm with _sqlitecache.so ... see
my next paragraph from (my first email in this thread today) and
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=178870
so it looks like I am going to be doing an `rpm -Fvh *` in my Rawhide
mirror, updating openssl just pulls in too many dependencies.... and
after that failed ... a little googleing ended up at:
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=178870
by pulling the _sqlitecache.so (and just that file) from a
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-1.fc8.i386.rpm, at least lets yum try to
update 731 packages. [It looks like it may have worked, but <deity>
only knows how much on the raw side of rawhide the machine is now.]
It should pull in the newer packages correctly I would expect.
the yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-5.fc9.i386.rpm must then be the package
with the problem.???
This is in bugzilla.
