I nice guy over on the http://forums.fedoraforum.org helped me with this and had me run these commands: yum -y install yum-utils mkdir rpms;cd rpms yumdownloader $(rpm -q --qf '%{NAME} ' $(rpm -qa | grep fc8)) rpm -Uhv --oldpackage *.rpm It worked for the most part. Once I fired off the next to last command, it gave about eight "No Match for argument " errors and then started downloading. This output looked like this: yumdownloader $(rpm -q --qf '%{NAME} ' $(rpm -qa | grep fc8)) Loading "installonlyn" plugin No Match for argument samba-swat No Match for argument evolution-sharp No Match for argument yumex No Match for argument ksh No Match for argument beagle-evolution No Match for argument beagle No Match for argument beagle-gui No Match for argument lirc gnome-keyring-0.8-1.fc7.i 100% |=========================| 179 kB 00:01 After it finished, I tried running the next command and it popped back with: rpm -Uhv --oldpackage *.rpm error: Failed dependencies: samba = 0:3.0.25a-2.fc8 is needed by (installed) samba-swat-3.0.25a-2.fc8.i386 Then I whacked out the eight error packages and reran the command 'rpm -Uhv --oldpackage *.rpm'. It seemed to work like a charm! Then I yumed back the eight packed I whacked above and all seems to be well.

This morning, I ran a yum update and saw a ton of stuff flying by. After it finished, I rebooted and found that there were now a ton of FC8 files/updates on there. After doing some digging, I see that the yum config info was pointing (or whatever y'all call it) to the test releases. I fixed it so that it is now pointing to the right place. > > Is there any way to fix what this morning's update did?

I don't know what the yum allowdowngrade plugin does. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
