Had a quick look and cannot find any info in docs about this problem. Add info to install-guide about deleting orphaned and obsolete packages after fedup upgrade. Until a garbage collection program or fedup etc updating this info is required so users can do it manually. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-install docs F19+ How reproducible: Refer Bug id 978037 which shows that an F17 obsoleted package found in F19 current release after upgrade with fedup from F17. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install F18 2. fedup upgrade to F19 3. Run the commands in Bug id 978037 Comment 6 to see obsoleted or orphaned packages. Actual results: yum local repo still has obsolete and orphaned packages after fedup upgrade Expected results: Until a garbage collection program is completed or fedup is updated please add this to install documenation. Additional info:
Hi Timothy, thanks for reporting this. I'll take a look and include the information in the F20 version.
Just updated F19 -> F20 with fedup. All fine except for ** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: kde-settings-kdm-20-12.fc20.noarch is a duplicate with kde-settings-kdm-19-23.fc19.noarch I could get rid of that orphaned package with: package-cleanup --cleandupes --noscripts (got that trick from http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=295983) I would suggest to add this to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp#Cleaning_Up_Post_Upgrade
The install guide has been retired, therefore I'm closing this bug. If you would like to report Fedora docs bugs in the future, please use the "bug" icon on the top right of the affected page, it will take you directly to the appropriate issue tracker.
