I think you're running into the problem that between F11 and F12, rpm was modified in ways that weren't backward compatible. So I suspect if you upgrade to F12 from F11 it will take care of the incompatibility and you will then be able to jump to F14 from F12. Maybe you have to use the older version of preupgrade so it knows about that change, the one that was released with F12? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
