Thanks for this great set of upgrade posts. I upgraded from FC5->FC6->FC7->FC8 –> FC10 in two days. Had to remove some packages for dependencies resolution. Left the packages out until at FC10. Then reinstalled the removed packages.

You can solve the i386/x86_64 problem with this command to find the dups instead…

rpm -qa –qf="%{NAME}.%{ARCH}\n" | sort | uniq -c | awk '$1 > 1 { print $2 }' | egrep -v '^(gpg-pubkey|kernel)' > dupes.txt

Brilliant Martin. Worked well on the i386 machine.

Problem on an x86_64 was that it tried to remove *both* packages where both the i386 and the x86_64 versions were installed.

Thanks.

I just did a FC8 to FC10 and it worked after some extra little steps

I did have some double rpms from old fedora and I did need to remove them first

I did found the following 2 scripts

rpm –last -qa | perl -n -e '/^(\S+)-\S+-\S+/; print "$&\n" if $SEEN{$1}; $SEEN{$1} ||= $_;' | sort | uniq >dupes.txt

and then you can do a

for i in $(cat dupes.txt); do rpm -e $i && echo $i; done

After those 2 steps i could do the update without one problem

Have you ever tried hopping over releases? In other words, could I go straight from FC7 to F10? Or do I have to go one step at a time?

Thanks for a great guide, by the way.

Cliff.

Dear Carson,

Thanks for your tips again, I got update from above server with x86_64. But now while restarting to Fedora 10 it saying VolumeGroup00 could not found. I have HP Xeon with SCSI disks. Please guide.

It boot's with privious kernel but fail to login in X with unable to authenticate user.

Regards,
