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.

* describe you problem exactly
* describe the packages changing behavior
* describe you hardware

and first please read your post and think about what you could
do with this informations as a foreigner!

normally i owuld downgrade all packages introducing the problems
and update them one by one to identifie what triggers the problem




If only I could get repeatable errors! Rest assured I've been
persistent, but I've never had this many problems when
installing/upgrading a Fedora release. If another Linux distribution can
install and upgrade more easily then why should I persist with Fedora?
How much time would you be prepared to spend continually trying to
update with yum? No offence to anybody, but after persisting with Fedora
since Fedora core 2 I'm somewhat disappointed.

I'm not clear on your problem, so I can only help with questions.

It sounds like you performed a new install from the KDE livecd, on new
hardware, and while the install succeeded, you are unable to update the
system. Is this correct?

Are your problems with yum describeable? Did updates ever work?

Have you tried anything besides repeated 'yum update' attempts?

It might be helpful to your potential supporters to have more information.




I have managed to find a more reliable update sequence which i outlined
elsewhere on this thread. It appears to be a yum problem occurs
depending on the update order it implements.
