I know that upgrading via yum is unsupported an not to ever do it and to use preupgrade, but I'm still curious as to why I get messages like this:

file /etc/gpm-twiddler.conf from install of gpm-1.20.6-3.fc11.x86_64 conflicts with file from package gpm-1.20.5-2.fc10.i386

Shouldn't it be obvious that you're going to replace files when upgrading a package?

Those are different archs.

-sv


Good point. Shortly after posting I realized I upgraded all of these packages before using yum, but only the x86_64 versions. Looks like I'm going to have to do a few more manual installs.

Any reason you did others manually? Handling them in yum means the multilib trickery will be handled.

I know yum is not officially supported for upgrading from release to release but depending on the system it works on a largish number of cases.

-sv

I wanted to make sure that my system survived the python-2.5 -> 2.6
switch, so I updated rpm, python, yum and a lot of deps manually.
I'll keep that info in mind in the future though.
