I'm guessing this will be closed as a WONTFIX due to EOL of Fedora 9. Fair enough. Thought it might be of interest anyway. For anyone interested a brute-force solution of this was achieved by: 1. Disabling all but the official fedora repositories 2. yum removing several large package groups including openoffice and all of KDE Unfortunately I did these as one single action and cannot say if only one of them would suffice or if both are needed. It was then necessary to do a grub-install to which mapped hd(0,1) to /dev/sda After that all was successful Sounds like a bug in F9 yum or createrepo.. or you have waaay more packages installed than anyone else has ever tested with. Heh. It'd help if you could use lsof to figure out what files preupgrade has open, but since you've apparently finished your upgrade that may not be so easy for you to reproduce. So: how many packages did you have installed? Seth, are you aware of any bugs in F9 yum/createrepo/python that would leave files open after they've been used? A very old urlgrabber had some file handle leaks - but that's the last think I recall Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
