Problems seems to have bitten other people: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=224166 http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-from-fedora-10-to-fedora-11-desktop-and-server#comment-14616 Just tested on x86_64 F11, same problem. The problem is caused by a problem on the fedoraproject.org site. Preupgrade uses the url "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt" to get the release information. But that url isn't working. A short test: $ wget http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt --2009-06-28 09:43:30-- http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt Resolving mirrors.fedoraproject.org... 152.46.7.222, 209.132.176.120, 66.35.62.166, ...

capture file from the preupgrade-cli run. This capture shows that preupgrade tries to get the url http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt and fails with a error from the remote server. My apologies, we recently rebuilt some servers and missed that file. This should be fixed now, thanks for the report. Confirm the solution. I still get this error. I don't see a file http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt And I don't find http://fedoraproject.org/releases.txt either. Am I misunderstanding in some way?

I don't know that you are. And as of this moment. http://fedoraproject.org/releases.txt still doesn't exist. (In reply to comment #5) > My apologies, we recently rebuilt some servers and missed that file. This > should be fixed now, thanks for the report. It's not fixed and the quote from you above is from June 2009.... Whether this is pertinent or not, I do not know, but I had this same problem: "Failed to fetch release info." the problem went away when I erased yum-fastestmirror and preupgrade is currently "downloading package metadata" (from the slowest ever mirror). This is still not fixed with current version preupgrade-1.1.5-1.fc11. I still have a machine with Fedora 11 and after 1.5 years this error is still there. Why was this closed ? Currently it is impossible to use preupgrade from Fedora 11 and the support for FC11 is already stopped. Very bad people :( giving Linux a bad name because of this small stupid bugs. |
Created attachment 349636 [details] Strace of preupgrade-cli Description of problem: preupgrade doesn't work Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): preupgrade-1.1.0-1.fc11.noarch (saw same!? problem with fedora 9 version) How reproducible: Always, on two machines. Third F10 machine upgraded to F11 just fine with preupgrade. Steps to Reproduce: 1.As root (or not) run preupgrade-cli or preupgrade 2.Always says "Failed to fetch release info." 3. Actual results: preupgrade-cli /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py:181: UserWarning: Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig warnings.warn('Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig') Loaded plugins: blacklist, presto, refresh-packagekit, upgrade-helper, whiteout Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit, upgrade-helper Failed to fetch release info. This could be caused by a missing network connection or a bad mirror. Expected results: Additional info: Failed Machines: i386 F9 i386 F11 i386 F10 worked fine upgrading to On both machines I'm browsing the net/pinging internet sites AND able to run yum updates just fine right before and after preupgrade-cli fails.
