It may be that your RPM database was (already) corrupt when you started the upgrade. You can check the state of the RPM database with "rpm --verifydb". If it is corrupt, but the Packages file doesn't have problems, as root do "rpm --rebuilddb". Personally, I installer-upgraded from FC3 to FC5 and FC5 to FC6, with no special difficulty (other than the RPM database corruption issue). I have two partitions, one with the current OS and the other with the old, or during upgrade, new OS, so I can try several times if needed. I also make a backup first. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' The Great Writ <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' is no more. <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
