A suggestion (not able to try myself as I no longer have an F7 machine
to try) is, make sure you use "upgrade" rather than "update" as the
yum command. I usually attempt to upgrade yum first when doing this
sort of thing, but that will probably pull in updates to python and
various libraries anyway, and before you know it you'll be upgrading
half the system anyway :o)).
If you set obsoletes=1 flag in /etc/yum.conf you will always get that
(upgrade versus update) behavior. I have heard the claim that that flag is set
by default with Fedora installs, but I am not sure if that is true or when it
might have become true.
You probably always want that behavior because even updates within a major
version can obsolete things.
yes, obsoletes=1 has been the default in the code for a
looooooooooooong time.
Why not just drop the "upgrade" alias then? It probably is just adding
up to the confusion.
