I tried and it has nothing to complete. > If that doesn't work, what does /etc/fedora-release have in it? It says 18 but yum was still thinking it's 17. I managed to change out the fedora-release package so it _should_ be thinking it's 18 --- but I can't tell what it might think now. > If it says you're running F 18, maybe distro-sync will work. It doesn't, says no packages are marked for sync. It seems that I have now about 1355 packages from Fedora 17 installed which are dupes of packages from Fedora 18. Things aren't working because different versions of packages don't go together. Nothing can be updated or upgraded, and if I tried to remove the packages from 17, the system would probably crash even before they're all removed. Is there any way to sort out this mess? If not, I'm done with Fedora. It has the big stamp "UNRELIABLE" on it now just like windoze, so there's no point in reinstalling. Having to reinstall all the time instead of being able to upgrade is not an option. What they call package management is totally broken. I have updated the bug report, too: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=972358 I give it until Tuesday and if it's not fixed by then, I'll install something else. -- Fedora total mess -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
