Hi all,
Hope someone can help me (again!!).
I'm trying to upgrade my desktop from F15 to F16 using
yum --releasever=16 distro-sync (with an added --skip-broken)
(same as I did on my laptop without problems) & after several minutes of lists of
packages to be updated, the
system comes to a screeching halt with the following messages:
> Error: Protected multilib versions: GConf2-gtk-3.2.0-1.fc16.x86_64 !=
GConf2-gtk-2.32.3-1.fc15.x86_64
> Error: Protected multilib versions: libsepol-2.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64 !=
libsepol-2.0.42-2.fc15.x86_64
> Error: Protected multilib versions: GConf2-3.2.0-1.fc16.x86_64 !=
GConf2-2.32.3-1.fc15.x86_64
> You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I tried the suggested rpm line & tried again, but always the same errors appear, I
tried to remove the packages
with yum but would have ended up erasing the whole system....
have you installed the i686 packages too?
try to remove them temporary
if you do the upgrade outside KDE/GNOME you can remove the GConf-packages
with "rpm -e --nodeps"before the upgrade, they will be pulled as dependency
in the upgrade-process
even if not - "package --cleanup --problems" and a review of grub-config
is mandatory before the reboot
