yum database not updated on upgrade from f7 to f8
Last modified: 2008-06-04 10:00:17 EDT
Description of problem: Upon upgrade install from f7 to f8 using full f8 dvd, the yum repository directory in /etc/yum.repos.d remain unchanged and continue to reference the fedora 7 directories. The update daemon indicates that over 900 updates are available. pup hangs if run. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fc7. 2. upgrade install fc8. 3. login as root Actual results: pup hangs while attempting to utilize f7 directories to update f8 upgrade install, while update daemon gives popup indicating over 900 updates available. Expected results: pup shows small number or zero upgrades available, and installs them if I request them. Additional info: livna configuration was present, but behavior persisted after I uninstalled all livna stuff and removed their configuration from yum.repos.d
Problem apparently occured when livna access added. *.rpmnew files created upon update for fedora.repo and fedora-development.repo. After moving out old *.repo files and renaming *.repo.rpmnew files to take their place, pup/yum began working again. The hang no longer occurs.
Closing as this problem stopped occuring, but please let us know if you encounter it in Fedora 9.
