After preupgrade f13 to f14 no f14 repos are found

Hi guys,
After preupgrade to f14 I was amazed to see that everything works. The only problem I can see though is that there is an anomaly with the yum repolist.

a uname -r confirms the 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686 kernel. However, a yum repolist all command shows:

I also tried downloading the fedora-release 14.1, but when I tried to install it I got:

/etc/yum.conf looks like this:

Quote:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
installonly_limit=3
color=never

# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
# metadata_expire=90m

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
/etc/yum.conf (END)

Needless to say, a yum distro-sync only results in yum trying to downgrade all the f14 packages.

Here is a list of the files in yum.repos.d:

Quote:

[root@Carbonic yum.repos.d]# ls
adobe-linux-i386.repo rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
fedora.repo rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo
fedora-updates.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
livna.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo
rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo
rpmfusion-free.repo

If I open up the fedora-updates file, for example this is what I see:

Quote:

[updates]

failovermethod=priority
baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/

enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch
fedora-updates.repo (END)

Could anyone give a clue as to how to get rid of the f13 repos and to allow the f14 repos to be active?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Shouldn't you use 'rpm -Uvh /home/Downloads/fedora-release-14-1.noarch.rpm' (upgrade) instead?

Hi unSpawn,
Well OK, I tried it again and got the following:

Quote:

[root@Carbonic Downloads]# rpm -Uvh fedora-release-14-1.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package fedora-release-14-1.noarch is already installed

The repo list still only shows f13 repos.

I don't understand why no f14 repos show if the rpm is already installed.

Cheers,

Try 'rpm -Uvh --force fedora-release-14-1.noarch.rpm'? I don't think the .repo files themselves (as they use "$releasever") but something else is blocking. What does 'rpm -qf /etc/yum.conf' return?

ceg4048 · 11-28-2010, 05:53 PM

Hi unSpawn,
Yes the --force did the trick mate!

Now I get:

Quote:

[root@Carbonic Downloads]# rpm -qf /etc/yum.conf
yum-3.2.28-5.fc14.noarch

Yum repolist now shows:

RPMFusion still seems to be missing so I'll try to add those.

Thanks so much!

You're welcome. Have fun!

The old "fedora-release.rpm" seems to stay installed even after "preupgrade" installs the new one. This came in handy when "preupgrade" crapped out the first time. I was able to reboot, do some installs and removes, and try again.
After a successful "preupgrade":

Code:

rpm -qa|grep fedora-release

showed that both fedora-releases were still installed.

Forcing a reinstall of fedora-release-14-1.noarch was the solution I saw here and was about to try it. Then I thought what if I just removed the old fedora-release.rpm. I was upgrading from 12 to 14,
so I used:

Code:

sudo rpm -e --test fedora-release-12-2.noarch

to see if it would erase easily and then did it for real with:

Code:

sudo rpm -e fedora-release-12-2.noarch

The correct repos then showed up with:

Code:

yum repolist all

Hi,
That seems a clever solution as well. I'll keep that in my pocket for the next upgrade!

Thanks!

Cheers,
