From the wiki:
"Version updates without using anaconda - such as the yum method described
here - is unsupported and not recommended!"
I wonder why that might be.
well, i am fedora-user since FC5 and made more than 200 dist-upgrades per yum
the one try with pre-upgrade was a joke
anaconda is unuseable on a server because it is a OFFLINE upgrade and you
have generally no control if something goes wrong - how do you control the
grub-config before the reboot - hey you can't because it's too late
Please look at the history of the spec files of the packages in
question,
I think you will find that most of them have been calling
"service condrestart" or something similar during update for a long time.
and i am building most server packages by myself since a long time
because of that behavior
httpd is actually one of those packages which have gained this
rather
recently (comparatively speaking): F10 was the first release that did it.
there are users out there for which F10 is not a so long time ago
a dist-upgrade from fc3 to fc6 via yum was a) no probkem and b) you
could restart the machine on the next day
