hi guys,
i have freshly installed fc8 and i am getting some problems when it tries to install the updates from the fedora-updates web site.
what happens is that fedora download all the updates from the site (about 700) but makes an error when intalling them and STOPS ... " an error occurred when trying to install updates ." but i don know which error it was.
How can i check it ?
how can i continue the upgrading process without downloading all the stuff again?
is fc8 really a stable version?
Yum should have cached everything it downloaded. If you were using the GUI to update, try it from a terminal instead. To do that, open a terminal and do the following:
If you have configured sudo:
Code:
> sudo yum update
If you have not configured sudo, or don't know what sudo is:
Code:
> su -
Password: ********* <-- NOTE: this is the root password, not your own.
[root@localhost ~]# yum update
.
.
.
[root@localhost ~]# exit
Yum should display any errors it encounters. If it does, post them back here.
thanks for answering ... i ve tried yesterday "yum update yum" but it falls into the same problem trying to update muine. At the moment I am out of town; i will try again by next monday and will post again ....

Why don't you just install a fresh copy of FEDORA 9, rather than using Fedora 8?
Error: Missing Dependency: libgcj.so.8rh is needed by package frysk
yum install libgcj-4.3.0-8.i386
No package pidof available.
yum install sysvinit-tools-2.86-24.i386
It honestly looks like you have an incomplete installation of Fedora 8 right now or your rpm database is corrupted. You could attempt to go through and fix each of these issues but that might waste more time than its worth
