A lot of people seem to have been having trouble with using yum to update
from F10 to rawhide, so I thought I would try it. My tests were as follows
1. yum update (still in F10, checking afterwards that I have at least
rpm-4.6.0-1.fc10.x86_64)
2. yum update --enablerepo=rawhide
This fails, due to a couple of packages that don't have F11 versions, the
errors ending with
audit-libs-python-1.7.12-3.fc10.x86_64 from installed has depsolving
problems
--> Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.5 is needed by package
audit-libs-python-1.7.12-3.fc10.x86_64 (installed)

The problem for both of these packages (python-psycopg2 and
audit-libs-python) is that F10 version > rawhide version
3. rpm -e python-psycopg2 audit-libs-python
error: Failed dependencies:
python-psycopg2 is needed by (installed)

4. rpm -e python-psycopg2 audit-libs-python --nodeps
(Having checked by the previous command that we aren't going to break
anything too important - rpm works because we haven't installed anything
from rawhide yet)
5. yum update --enablerepo=rawhide --disablerepo=updates
(if we don't turn off updates the F10 versions of python-psycopg2 and
audit-libs-python will try to come back and confuse things)
This ends with the error
Transaction Check Error:
package audit-libs-1.7.12-3.fc10.x86_64 (which is newer than
audit-libs-1.7.12-2.fc11.i586) is already installed
file /etc/libaudit.conf from install of audit-libs-1.7.12-2.fc11.i586
conflicts with file from package audit-libs-1.7.12-3.fc10.x86_64
6. rpm -e audit audit-libs --nodeps
(A bit risky, because this might break a few things, but nothing directly
related to the upgrade)
7. yum update --enablerepo=rawhide --disablerepo=updates
This works.
So it is possible to upgrade from F10 to rawhide if you are careful, and
any problems are because rawhide is lagging a bit behind F10 updates,
presumably because of the beta freeze.
