I had similar problems upgrading my FC5 to F8. In order to finish it, I had to remove those packages with no upgrade paths. They either came from obsolete repos, or were obsolete themselves. A couple of them really confused me. But, so far, I was able to complete my upgrade, and I've been able to re-install of couple of the removed packages afterwards anyways (like mythmusic). > I can post the contents of my yum.repos.d directory if that would help. Try removing the packages with no upgrade paths first. you can always re-install them again if you need them (at least that's the theory). Posting the specific errors and packages that won't upgrade is probably more help to us at this point. > --Graeme Hilton -- Kevin J.
