Description

--product isn't recognized (or needed) on systems that already have a product installed. You're running F21, so you already have a product installed. What product is KDE? It's not workstation, cloud, or server. It seems like it is nonproduct. What about minimal install? Also not workstation, cloud, or server, and yet I get this same error message with --product=nonproduct so I have no idea what that option is used for if not for these two use cases. Did you try without that option? I believe that was only necessary to get to F21. I tried minimal install without --product and it appears to work, but man fedup says --product=nonproduct is valid so something is still confused or confusing at the least. IIUIC, you don't (even can't) use --product when upgrading from F21 or later, regardless of what product or non-product (KDE, minimal, etc) are you on. It will just work.
The fedup man page says:
Required Arguments
--product [cloud,server,workstation,nonproduct]
Specify the Fedora flavor to target for upgrades. Required for updating pre-F21 systems.
I agree that this is slightly confusing. It says it is required pre-F21, but it doesn't say you should not (cannot) use it post-F21. And it's listed as a required argument in any case.
If you find this too confusing, please reopen this bug and adjust the summary (or report a new bug) and ask Will to either clarify that more in the man page (specifically saying that this option is not supported on F21->F22 upgrades and higher), or removing this man page option completely from .fc21 version of fedup and higher. Thanks.
*** Bug 1225102 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This problem seems to be already hitting our users: http://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-22-released/#comment-368424 http://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-22-released/#comment-368420 The problem is that there are no instructions for upgrading with Fedup in the installation guide ( https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/22/html/Installation_Guide/chap-upgrading.html#sect-upgrading-fedora-fedup ) And that the wiki page referred to in the installation Guide is incomplete: Start the upgrade prep by executing following commands sudo yum update fedup fedora-release sudo fedup --network 21 --product=[workstation | server| cloud | nonproduct] Once the preparations have completed, check the /var/log/fedup.log file if any errors show up in the output from fedup https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp |
