FC5 Upgrade and YUM

m_w_green · 03-23-2006, 03:39 AM

I have just successfully upgraded my FC4 to FC5 (HURRAH!!!) but I seem to have run into some potentially disabling problems. The FC5 Upgrade tool or option does not seem to be working and worse than that, YUM is also failing. I loved yum coz it was so easy to manage my apps but now I am stuck.

Other Issues include.
- XScreensaver Fails to load up.
- Xine Fails to run.

I had no hardware issues.

My System
- Toshiba sat pro A60

UPDATE: Got this from another thread:
"yum" tool, yumex was not upgraded, and you have to install it from the fedora-extras-development repository to get a working copy. (It does not seem to be in fedora-extras at this time).

I will try this later on today and let you know if it works.

It seems to be in the repos now. It was one of todays updates for my Fedora Core 5 installation.

Is FC5 stable yet?
I thought it was still under development?

Don't you read the tech and linux news sites?

It was officially released last Monday.
