Anyone selling "I survived fedup" t-shirts? Anyway, the saga is over... Had to boot to a F19 install dvd in rescue mode, chrooted into my system, yum didn't work (no libffi.so.6, I assume I had .5).
Tried using yum from the DVD w/ --installroot to /mnt/sysimage... yum was there but couldn't import the python module yummain (or whatever it's called) which brings up the point. Isn't a functional yum kinda important as a tool to rescue your system? got libffi installed with rpm -r /mnt/sysimage and a few other things to get a mostly working yum in the chroot... yum update / distro-sync package-cleanup --problems showed a bunch of unsatisfied dependencies but I couldn't find a way to get package-cleanup or yum to handles these automatically (that would be nice) manually installed dependencies or just yum reinstalled the parent app... Problems gone! (mostly) F18 kernel was newer than F19 and caused my system to continuously reboot after partially loading yum erase F18 kernel, yum install F19 kernel Now it works! Whew, I'm glad that's over Richard
