I would agree. From your description before, I think that your system is either constrained by memory or hard disk space from doing a 1600+ update in one chunk. A guess. I think you need to update each package individually, rather than en masse as you are trying. The fact that the libraries didn't upgrade is a very bad sign. That your system still booted is a good sign as it means there is some coherence still present. Do a yum list installed to see what is actually installed. Redirect the output to a file and put yum -y upgrade in front of each package. Then run it as a shell script by adding #! /bin/bash at the top and making it executable chmod +x script. At first it should pull lots of dependencies in, then fewer and fewer. But it shouldn't be a single massive update. If that doesn't work, try doing some forced updates of library packages that seem to be causing problems before going back to yum. I think you can recover from this, but it is going to be a long hard slog. I suggest a short walk in the fresh air before you start. Making decisions in urgency, unless necessary, is rarely good policy. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
