I did an FC6 to FC7 upgrade via yum recently. The "cleanup" portion of
the upgrade crashed. I learned from this list to use package-cleanup
--orphans to find all the odd balls.
I've cleaned up most things, but I'm struggling with a few. For
example, libdvdread still comes from fc6 insted of fc7. If I attempt to
remove libdvdread, dozens of packages will get removed. I can certainly
reinstall them, but, I'm wondering if there is another package-cleanup
trick I can use to resolve some of these issues.
Example:
linux# yum list libdvdread
Loading "kmdl" plugin
Installed Packages
libdvdread.i386 0.9.7-4.fc6.at
installed
Available Packages
libdvdread.i386 0.9.7-2.fc7 fedora
Can I somehow swap out the libdvdread package without deleting it and
all of it's dependencies?
Thanks,
Jim
