me a bit of grief. The dejavu fonts change also caused some problems.
Something that couldn't be updated pinned some other package that was
needed for another package and skip broken couldn't figure out how to
fix things. (It would be nice if it could at least tell it couldn't
succeed rather than going on in an endless loop.) There are also a few
kde-i18 and kde-i10 packages that have conflicting files.
For some things I uninstalled them in F10 to get the upgrade to succeed and
then the other stuff I cleaned up later using rpm to do a downgrade.
I used package-cleanup to find things that needed looking at.
Ah, yes, I forgot about package-cleanup. So, skipping the F-10
kernel, here is what "package-cleanup --orphans" reports on my virtual
Rawhide machine:
glibc-2.9-2.x86_64
glibc-common-2.9-2.x86_64
glibc-devel-2.9-2.x86_64
glibc-headers-2.9-2.x86_64
libdhcp-1.99.8-1.fc10.x86_64
libdhcp4client-4.0.0-30.fc10.x86_64
libdhcp6client-1.0.22-1.fc10.x86_64
nscd-2.9-2.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.9-1.fc9.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-mouse-1.3.0-2.fc9.x86_64
I admit that having glibc on that list really surprises me. It's such
a fundamental piece of the system...
Thanks,
