Re: Preupgrade failure F15->F17, cannot find an Adobe related file on any mirror.
do not top-post, however, now it does no longer matter... one major rule for dist-upgrades is to remove/disbale all packages and repos which may introduce troubles before you can install anything after the sucessful upgrade and have only to care not remove packages needed by the basesystem (needs sometimes knowledge) __ i had dist-upgrades where i simply had to "rpm -e --nodpes whatever" for packages knowing to be not rellay important and even in such cases most of them are pulled as dep while the upgrade is running this may happen if you are up-to-date with your installation and the target dist-version or mirror is behind in some cases never used DVD/ANaconda/Preupgrade except two messed up upgrades compared with some hundret successful dist-upgrades via yum in the last 4 years (yes the some hundret is true) Am 31.05.2012 00:17, schrieb Quicksort: > Thank you, Sam, but how should I proceed ? > Also, if I disable Adobe' s Yum repository > can I re-enable it later (how ?) so as to get > flashplayer updates. > > Thanks. > Le mercredi 30 mai 2012 à 18:02 -0400, Sam Varshavchik a écrit : >> Quicksort writes: >> >>> Platform: F15 x64 (—>F17) >>> >>> Hello everybody, >>> >>> Preupgrade aborts upon the following: >>> >>> “Failure: repodata/filelists.xml.gz >>> from preupgrade-adobe-linux-i386 >>> (Errno 256).

First i tried adding a swap file, because the message said my fstab does not have a valid swap file. I thought it might be making a distinction between swap partitions and a swap file. That didn't make any difference. I then commented out my swap partitions in the fc12 fstab and tried preupgrade again and it worked.

Layout of both disks: # fdisk -l /dev/sda # fdisk -l /dev/sdb For F12 (the one you try to preupgrade) log in and get an output: # cat /etc/fstab For F13 (the one you already preupgrade-ed) log in and get an output: # cat /etc/fstab By the way: when you run preupgrade the next time (2nd, 3rd, etc) you are asked whether you want to continue from the point of previous stop/failure point or from the very beginning. IMPORTANT: I would advise you to stop changing anything on your machine (disk layout, swaps, /etc/fstab, etc) so that the data I ask you for above is true from that point on and we can help you !

fc13 preupgrade failure on swap
I have been using fedora since fedora 4 with great satisfaction. I tried to do an fc12 to fc13 preupgrade. All went fine until I was running anaconda ( I believe) with the install.img. I got a pop-up that said the swap device has not been created and that " The /etc/fstab on your upgrade partition does not reference a valid swap device" When I click OK the system reboots and the upgrade fails. I have checked my swaps in the fc12 system and they seem OK, Top shows the swap partitions are there " I actually have three swap partition on two different drives. I checked the swaps in fstab on fc12 using findfs and they seem OK, UIIDs and /dev entries. I suspect that the upgrade partition it refers to is in the install.img. I have another partition with fc13, on which I used preupgrade to upgrade from fc12 It was a very smooth procedure. That kind of rules out hard drive problems. Unless something changed. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix fstab, or what the problem might be? Also, is there a way to undo the preupgrade attempt, so I can try again? Any other suggestions will be welcome. -- 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

preupgrade failure
Time to upgrade from f11 to f12. Preupgrade failed and my question is
"Is it OK to try again or will I end up in some screwed up state
halfway between f11 and f12?"
Here is the output of preupgrade with some of my comments embedded.
Thanks,
Steve
