I think we should change that probibly to avoid --skip-broken there. Instead you should not use --skip-broken and should look at removing packages that can't be updated. (ie, orphans in the new release). > 5. yum repolist - shows all repos are still set to fc12. > 6. now improvisation starts: > yum --releasever=13 distro-sync --skip-broken - yum can not end > dependency resolution, it was still cycling thru dependencies > suggesting many packages to erase or downgrade, it does not react to > ^C, nor kill -15, have to use kill -9 to end it. > 7. yum clean all - no problems > 8. yum --releasever=13 distro-sync --skip-broken - finaly does > resolves 373MB in 752 packages to update for fc13.

The fedora-release you have installed doesn't match the new keys, so you need to import those first. > Last time, somebody was interested in checking what's wrong. Here I > am.
