I was able to work around the cups dependency by simply removing the i686 version of gtk2 (which in turn was only required by nspluginwrapper). I could then reinstall it if I so desired. yum remove gtk2.i686 yum install gtk2.i686 As for the hundreds of other problems, I got around them by a combination of yum distro-upgrade yum list installed | grep fc16 | cut -d " " -f 1 | xargs yum upgrade -y

For me there was no package as gtk2.i686 installed and the command yum list installed | grep fc16 | cut -d " " -f 1 | xargs yum upgrade -y also failed stating that could not remove following packages.. krb5-libs.i686 1.9.3-1.fc16 @updates/16 libdrm.i686 2.4.33-1.fc16 @updates/16 libuuid.i686 2.20.1-2.3.fc16 @updates/16 libxcb.i686 1.7-3.fc16 @fedora/16 llvm-libs.i686 2.9-10.fc16 @updates/16 mesa-dri-drivers.i686 7.11.2-3.fc16 @updates/16 mesa-libGL.i686 7.11.2-3.fc16 @updates/16 openssl.i686 1.0.0i-1.fc16 @updates/16 I removed them manually using yum remove for each of them and rerun yum list installed | grep fc16 | cut -d " " -f 1 | xargs yum upgrade -y after that yum update worked for me.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
