LinuxQuestions.org - Fedora 9 => Fedora 12 Preupgrade error. Help?

I am using preupgrade to update Fedora 9 -> Fedora 12 following these steps: -

Code:

yum -y update

yum clean all

yum install preupgrade

preupgrade-cli

preupgrade-cli "<FEDORA VERSION>"

reboot

I successfully upgraded this box from Fedora 6 => Fedora 9 and I guess I got too confident when this worked without a hitch and went straight from Fedora 9 => Fedora 12. Everything works up until the very end of the upgrade process when I get this error.

Code:

(process:2227): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.

This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.

The overwriting error message was: Parsing primary.xml error: Couldn't find end of Start Tag rpm:entry line 15303

What can I do to fix this please?

Thanks.
