Re: FC4 to FC5 upgrade - (no really)

I've been trying to upgrade an old smoky FC4 system to FC5 in the
first step of upgrading it to a more recent version of fedora. I've
read countless articles about how to go about this procedure and have
met with different results. I've resolved most issues but always seem
to circle around to some dependency issue. I have only remote root
SSH to this box, no physical access.

I Installed fedora-release-5-5.noarch.rpm - Did a yum clean all, yum
upgrade with below results.

Error: Package python needs libssl.so.5, this is not available.
Error: Package gnupg needs libcrypto.so.5, this is not available.
Error: Package python needs libcrypto.so.5, this is not available.
Error: Package gnupg needs libssl.so.5, this is not available.

My current config:

2.6.17-1.2142_FC4 kernel, all older kernel's removed
python-2.4.3-8.FC4
gnupg-1.4.5-1
openssl-0.9.7f-7.10

I don't see how I can remove python or gnupg, as yum supposedly relies
on both?

You probably need SSL compatibility libraries, to allow your old software to rowk, while you update the active one. Look among the openssl libraries, or on an FC5 box ask "yum info libcrypto.so.5"
.
