It's not something I tested or had anything to do with. I only mentioned the possibility that it might be the root of the problem the OP was having as I had seen the change being discussed on IRC a week or so ago. I am fairly sure that the scenario of a clean F9 install and update was tested, but even so, it could easily have missed some ways that things could break. I did a quick bugzilla search and didn't find any bugs on this. Either my bugzilla search was off or there aren't a ton of people running into this. Hopefully it gets reported so that it can be fixed. I can't help but wonder if it requires some unlucky timing to hit? Otherwise I would think the list would have a lot more folks complaining that their Fedora 9 boxes have stopped updating. :/ > This is the type of thing that you can't do mid-release unless you > are absolutely sure it will work. I agree. It definitely seems like a risky change to make at this stage of the Fedora 9 release. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can't make something idiot proof, idiots are too damned creative.
