Michal,

That rings a bell. A fix to system-config-http in May might have removed
the last requirement for alchemist. See

It appears that alchemist is gone in F14.  It was installed by
default previously and it depends on python 2.6 and seemingly noting
"obsoletes" it or provides something to satisfy dependencies and/or
force a replacement.  Most likely more people doing updates of that
sort will bump into the issue.

The change from python 2.6 to python 2.7 may be holding you up if you have 
packages installed that haven't been recompiled for python 2.7 in F14 
yet, or if you have other packages that use python that aren't in F14. The 
output from yum update will tell you what dependencies are holding you 
back.

Looked to me like yum didn't know how to parse /etc/pki/*, or how to resolve
deps (e.g. alchemist, which I fixed with yum remove but forgot to mention)
without using --skip-broken, which it suggested as a workaround.

Gonna need a lot more information to diagnose this. What 'failed' with
the step 6?

1-updated F13/KDE system this AM.

2-cloned the F13 partition to another partition

3-changed the clone's UUID

4-adjusted the clone's grub.conf & fstab, then booted it

5-rpm -Uvh fedora-release-14-0.7.noarch.rpm

6-yum update yum rpm (fails)

7-yum update yum rpm --nogpgcheck --skip-broken

Result:
119 packages installed, among them freetype, kde, fontconfig-devel, akonadi,
qt-webkit, libXinerama-devel, libchamplain-gtk, amarok, qt-webkit, BackupPC,
compat-gdbm

What happened? Brain fart, bug(s), or is this expected?
