I'm trying to upgrade from FC8 to FC9. I believe I have all my repositories in order. However, when I do a yum update, or if I even tell it yum update kernel, it doesn't find it. I'm still on fc8.

Please see my repo list below:

=======================================================================
# yum repolist
repo id repo name status
fedora Fedora 9 - i386 enabled
livna Livna for Fedora Core 9 - i386 - Base enabled
updates Fedora 9 - i386 - Updates enabled



Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks,

Avrohom

dosent find what? yum? the repo?


who are you running yum as?

what are the permissions of /etc/repo.d

when you do an rpm -qa yum what do you get?

Did you change your repolist entries to fedora 9 manually? There are more configs which need to be patched; there is a package called fedora-release-8.X which you should upgrade to version 9, from the fedora repository. Then, the general approach to completing the upgrade is:

• do a full update on your old release (fedora 8)
• upgrade the fedora-release package for fedora 9
• If you have "release" packages for any other repositories, use yum to upgrade those
• Finally, do "yum upgrade"

You should seriously re-think upgrading. A fresh install is by far the preferred method.
