This is the second time that it happens:
The uograde from fedora 16 to 17 fails with the message:
The /usr merge script failed. THis is required for Fedora 17 to

Then, it is impossible to boor on the previous installation.
This is a real serious bug (x86_64)
I may be a serious problem. But it won't get addressed if you don't
file a *detailed* bugzilla. On your F16 system, did you have /usr
on
a separate partition?
Yes,
I have /
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/local
/home
(Old fashion, like it was recommanded a while ago).
An upgrade failure is annoying. But, should never be fatal. In
that
doing a backup before hand simply results in one doing a fresh
install.
Yes I have a backup, but it would better to undertsand before
reinstalling again
because this failure is reproducible. In fact probably very little
need to repaired.
I have other machines to update.
This were the issue is:
in update.py
Why anaconda tries to make symbolic link when it is just regular
partition?
So, how can I go back to the previous configuration?
How, can I anticipate the issue?
