remove selinux after yum crash

Hi guys,
i am recovering from a yum crash (updating fc18 to fc19) and after removing lots of duplicates, i can remove selinux-policy-targeted.noarch. I tried rpm -e --nodeps, yum update, package-cleanup --cleandupes, and always throws in this message:

Code:

  Cleanup    : selinux-policy-targeted.noarch                          153/168

then,the removing process hungs up...

i also have rebuilded the rpm database, How can I remove that package ?

thanks in advance

hector

How did you try to upgrade 18 to 19 ?
FedUp is the new tool and it replaced " preupgrade"

inplace upgrades are ALWAYS a "crap shoot"
prepare to do a New Clean install then do the upgrade
but if third party repos are used there might be incompatibles

so expect to do a new clean install every 6 months
but fedup just might work , you never know

Quote:

rpm -e --nodeps, yum update, package-cleanup --cleandupes

thaty is not the real command is it ?
you are telling rpm to uninstall yum but are using " ," comas in the command line ?
that will not work

please post the real command you are using and the error

no, those were different commands,

forthis command:

Code:

package-cleanup --cleandupes

i got:

and nothing else happens ... it hungs up ...

rpm -e --nodeps selinux-policy-targeted.noarch, throws into the same messages.

Code:

yum update, says that there in nothing marked for update

thanks for comments

so you used

Code:

yum --releasever=19 distro-sync --skip-broken

to try to upgrade from fedora 18 to 19 ?
that would not have updated any of the rpmfusion repo installed software

and did not use fedup

you might want to reinstall using the fedora 19 dvd .

first try "upgrade an existing install" from the fedora 19 install dvd and if that fails do a new clean install of 19

john,

i used

Code:

yum --releasever=19 distro-sync --skip-broken

to synchronize to fc19, after i had a crash of the this command:

Code:

fedora-upgrade

it crashed because an energy failure.

now, problem looks like something related with selinux-policy-targeted.noarch

do you thing would be better a clean installation ?
