First I must say that the F10 freezup, was not F10's fault, but a continuing problem I have with my Asus M2N-X Plus mobo, as it happens with other distros. Back to the plot. While the updates on F10 were installing, the machine decided to freeze. No keyboard, no mouse, no nothing, except a static image on KDE, like a screenshot. I had no alternative, but to press the reboot button. When I've had this happen on Debian installs, I run apt-get dist-upgrade, and apt-get complains, telling me to run, dpkg-reconfigure -a. This fixes the problem with packages that were partially installed when the machine froze up, then running apt-get dist-upgrade again, the remaining packages are installed. When F10 rebooted, I ran apt-get dist-upgrade (I use apt on Fedora), but apt-get complained about dependency problems due to duplicate packages on the system. Apt-get gave the following errors. E: Transaction set check failed E: Handler silently failed I tried various suggestions from apt-get, like, apt-get --fix-broken install, with no success. After a serious session of rpm -e on the various packages that had duplicates, some 3hrs later, I had reduced the list of problem packages to zero, and ran apt-get dist-upgrade again, which now continued with installing the remaining packages. The question is, is there some command I could have used on Fedora, similar to the Debian, dpkg-reconfigure -a, which is able to resolve problems with partially installed packages, when you get a power out, or in my case, the machine decides to freeze up, while installing the updates. I had a good look in the man page for rpm, but couldn't see anything there that might help, but there may be other commands not in the man page of course. As usual, thanks for any suggestions.
