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
