No, because I don't want to upgrade from f17 to f18. I'm just doing regular system update (or at last, I'm trying)
- so please do NOT use the term "upgrade"
Update would be easier to understand here
- do not use "--skip-broken"
In general I agree, however, if you use rpmfusion they sometimes (last night) update kmod and akmod modules before the kernels move from testing to updates.
- analyze what deps are failing
Definitely, these things can mean your mirror was updating, or that your rpmdb is hosed somehow.
- consider to wait a few days
Indeed, this is the road to success in most cases, updates are not atomic, network issues are seldom the case, TCP is fairly good at detecting a bad packet.
- if it is not solved after a few days by newer updates write bugreports
Again good advice.
What I do: early in the morning the system can run "yum --downloadonly upgrade"
When I start my day, I check the results, the RPM packages are now downloaded, I can run the real upgrade after I check for possible issues. That moves the time waiting for downloads out of "my time."
