I think you should disable some (all) of these plugins until after you have preupgraded. Just in case. You will find the configuration files in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/ Edit them and turn them off individually or edit /etc/yum.conf and set plugins=0 instead of plugins=1. When you are finished preupgrading, you can turn them back on if you want.

The wiki and preupgrade itself should warn users that a (ReleaseVer +2) upgrade is possible but (ReleaseVer +3) is not. I think you're running into the problem that between F11 and F12, rpm was modified in ways that weren't backward compatible. So I suspect if you upgrade to F12 from F11 it will take care of the incompatibility and you will then be able to jump to F14 from F12. Maybe you have to use the older version of preupgrade so it knows about that change, the one that was released with F12? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
