I was wondering if anyone had experience with
upgrading F8 to F9 of late. I get a strange bunch of
dependencies which indicate that the current rpms (to be
upgraded) have dependencies on the old (F8) ones. For
example, claws-mail in F8 needs libssl.so.6, etc.
But why should yum care? Claws-mail itself will be
updated to the new.
Verify that a newer claws-mail is available actually. It
must be seen by
Yum, or else you keep the F8 pkg and its dependencies.
Sometimes packagers
make mistakes and offer a newer pkg release for the older
dist(s). Make
sure F9 Updates (or even Test Updates) repo is enabled, so
really the
latest F9 pkgs are used as updates.
Hmmm, man thanks! But the claws-mail is exactly the same, but for the distribution number. On FC8 (installed), it is:
claws-mail-3.5.0-1.fc8
On FC9, the latest is:
claws-mail-3.5.0-1.fc9
Do I just use enablerepo=updates to be sure that F9 updates is being enabled. I was relying on the default, which seems to have worked previously.
Best,

My guess is, it has to do with the new key repositories:
When you upgrade from F8 to F9, you use the F9 distribution repository
and the *old* updates repository. This would give you a unupdated F9,
except for the stuff that is in the old updates repo, and that contains
*only* the stuff to get to the newkey repo. The problem is that some
stuff in an updated F8 have higher version numbers than the unupdated
stuff in F9. claws-mail is an example of such a package. You updated
F8 version is 3.5.0-1.fc8, but the unupdated F9 version is 3.3.1-4.fc9.
