I attempted an upgrade from Fedora 8 to Fedora 9 which did not succeed.
After copying had completed, many old files remained and the new kernel
was not copied. I tried to complete the upgrade using yum, but it initially
did not work because libnss and associated files were missing. After I
replaced these files from the rescue disk. I tried yum again, but
it refuses to recognize the new version.
I have done the following:
1. yum clean all
2 Downloaded fedora-release-9-5.transition.noarch.rpm and installed it
3. Checked that rpm -qf /etc/fedora-release reports the correct version.
However, when I try:
'yum update'
or
'yum update kernel*'
nothing happens because it still seems to think that I have Fedora 8,
not 9.
I've thought of hard coding fedora-updates.repo, but I'm not exactly sure
what values to use for $releasever and $basearch
Other than starting over, does anyone have a suggestion how to get yum
to see the correct version?
