Unfortunately Helix doesn't check your system first, it just presents you with a

My apologies it does just that - my error was that I had downloaded the tarballs
and did the old 'rpm -bt xxx.tar.gz' on them. For some reason, probably naming

I am quite sure there are other ways to do upgrade, and that opinions on
