Removing mozilla with yum was also needed on the system which took out yelp and a few other packages which needed mozilla previously. You can add yelp back post upgrade without a lot of trouble.Previously I thought of yum erase libsepol but it wanted to remove quite a few packages. I decided to do the above instead. I did not have errors when removing VFlib2 with rpm. It is not on FC6, so it will not reinstall. The other two errors listed did not effect my system.Expect for this to take some time to complete. It took me about 3 hours on guess-timation I copied the DVD rpms over to the hard drive core repository, downloaded the updates and testing repos to their local repositories before upgrading. This was a one shot deal, no re-upgrading needed.Jim
I was really trying hard not to muck with the integrity of the rpm database. I always assume that if I have been a good boy and not mucked with it it knows more than I do.
So, I started looking for why libsepol-devel kept reappearing. I ran the "yum upgrade" again and captured the output so I could look at it. (i.e. yum upgrade | tee upgrade.log). I found that libselinux-devel was calling for it. I then yum removed libselinux-devel and all of the problems went away.
I will muck with the repository when I have to but it is only after a lot of research and determining that it is my only choice.
