The upgrade (using yum in this case) is broken from F-14 on a standard gnome desktop install due to package conflicts with the old gnome-desktop package. file /usr/share/gnome/help/fdl/ca/fdl.xml from install of gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.i686 conflicts with file from package gnome-desktop-2.32.0-2.fc14.i686 file /usr/share/gnome/help/gpl/zh_CN/gpl.xml from install of gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.i686 conflicts with file from package gnome-desktop-2.32.0-2.fc14.i686 file /usr/share/gnome/help/lgpl/zh_CN/lgpl.xml from install of gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.i686 conflicts with file from package gnome-desktop-2.32.0-2.fc14.i686 file /usr/share/omf/gpl/gpl-zh_CN.omf from install of gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.i686 conflicts with file from package gnome-desktop-2.32.0-2.fc14.i686 file /usr/share/omf/lgpl/lgpl-zh_CN.omf from install of gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.i686 conflicts with file from package gnome-desktop-2.32.0-2.fc14.i686
There's a gnome-desktop-2.32.0-8.fc15 which does not conflict with gnome-desktop3; I don't know how your upgrade missed this, but my yum upgrade used it and hit no problem. possibly NOTABUG. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gnome-desktop-2.32.0-7.fc15,gnome-desktop3-2.91.91-1.fc15 -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Discussed during 2011-05-16 Fedora QA blocker review meeting [1]. Reserving decision until additional yum update information is available. Note, that yum updates are not the supported/recommended upgrade procedure. Therefore, it is unlikely that this issue would block the release. Day-0 updates to the 'updates' repository may be sufficient to address a 'yum' distro-sync upgrade issue.

Discussed at the go/no-go meeting of 2011-05-17. Agreed that this is not a blocker; as described it affects only yum upgrades, which are explicitly not supported and not specified in the release criteria. Additionally, no-one claims to be able to reproduce this while several say they have done yum upgrades and _not_ seen this, and no-one has seen a similar issue using any supported upgrade mechanism. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Going to close these as I don't have the full logs. It seems I forced removal with rpm and let yum clean up the problem by pulling in the associated deps.
