Due to the fact that during development, packages can and do end up in varying states of brokenness, Red Hat does not support upgrades to or from rawhide packages. This problem is not reproduceable on a 7.1 stock -> 7.2 upgrade, nor 7.1 + official updates -> 7.2 upgrade. There were varying degrees of font breakages and issues during development, that caused very much the same symptoms that you have encountered. In particular, the main nasty that has been reported the most during beta testing, was a %postun script gone bad. The problem was fixed in a later release, however, the problem exists in the _old_ package's postun script, so if that broken beta package is installed, then problems will result upon upgrade. I'm 98% certain that this is the problem you have encountered. Thanks nonetheless for reporting this issue. |
