I made a mistake using YUM to upgrade a Fedora Core 5 system to
Fedora 8. Instead of logging on as root from the console, I
ssh'ed into it from my user (which mounts its home directory
via NFS) and did it using sudo.
Everything went fine until it got to the package cleanup stage.
It cleaned up about half of the old packages and hung at the NFS
package.
I found a web page that suggested I get rid of old packages using
"package-cleanup --orphans"
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq
This generates a list of packages that no longer exist. However
before I erase them, I want to make sure that RPM will not erase
any files belonging to a newer package.
Do I have to do anything besides "rpm -e"?
Thanks,
Geoff.
