That's your choice, I think Tait Clarridge hit the method to downgrade
first,
then rerun the upgrade. In another forum (chat room) someone said that
the yum
'clean' had been used, then upgrade succeeded in fixing the system.

Both of those suggestions indicate that "using only the 'upgrade'
command" isn't
the way to get things sane again. If it worked for you, fine, but I
still put
Tait's suggestion in my tricks folder, seems a robust thing to do,
rather than
repeating the unsuccessful upgrade.

it's about the assumption...

if a yum clean metadata fixes the issue, then it is not an issue that is
problematic for everyone but only those whose metadata contains a
package list of updates that won't work...it's a local problem.

I can assure you that neither I nor most have had to 'downgrade' in
order to upgrade.

I tried clearing the yum metadata and the problem persisted. I cannot
take credit for the downgrade and then update as I saw it on a forum (or
maybe even in bugzilla), but on 3 of my Fedora 11 systems (both i386 and
x86_64) the clean did not work and only the downgrade and then upgrade
worked.
