Yum and Fedora 16


Currently I'm using Fedora 14, but after upgrading my PC I decided to
try and install Fedora 16 from the KDE spin, (no problem). The problem
arises when trying to do yum updates, I get multiple errors, some of
which stop Fedora 16 from shutting down. Sadly, based on this
experience, and previous experience trying to upgrade to Fedora 15 I'm
considering looking into another Linux distribution. My patience with
these problems, (2+ days already), is rapidly wearing thin! Piecemeal
updating by trial and error makes for a less than friendly release!

Looks like I may have to wait for Fedora 17 for a yum friendly release.
