I "accidentially" updated to Fedora 9

[MThomas]

Hi folks,
I "accidentially" updated to Fedora 9. Yeah, I screwed up, very embarrassing!
Happens when you type without thinking. Anyway, I guess I might have two options:
1 - Back out - if possible. But how?
2 - Fix my repositories and ride out Fedora 9 until it is stable.

Here is what I get when I try to use yum:

[root@legolas ~]# yum info
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: livna-development. Please verify its path and try again

These are my current repos:

fedora-development.repo.rpmsave
fedora-rawhide.repo
fedora.repo
fedora.repo.rpmnew
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates.repo.rpmnew
fedora-updates-testing.repo
livna-devel.repo
livna.repo
livna-testing.repo

And here is my yum.conf:

cat yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
installonly_limit=2

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d


Any suggestions are welcome.

:)

I see no prblem with yum.conf, and your list of curent repos does not give evidence that they're enabled. Please post results of:
yum repolist
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"|grep -i ".fc9"

OOPS! make that: "fc9"

Thanks for your reply.
Here you go:
# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
repo id repo name status
fedora-source Fedora 8.93 - Source enabled
livna-development Livna for Fedora Core 8.93 - i386 - Deve enabled
livna-development-de Livna for Fedora Core 8.93 - i386 - Deve enabled
livna-development-so Livna for Fedora Core 8.93 - i386 - Deve enabled
rawhide Fedora - Rawhide enabled
rawhide-debuginfo Fedora - Rawhide - Debug enabled
rawhide-source Fedora - Rawhide - Source enabled
updates Fedora 8.93 - i386 - Updates enabled
updates-source Fedora 8.93 - Updates Source enabled

I'm afraid the query is pretty lengthy, 1071 lines. Do you want me to grep out anything specific?

[Hlingler]

No, that'll be sufficient.... yeah, this looks ugly.

First, there should almost never be a reason to have the *-source repos enabled, so I would recommend that you disable them now. Debuginfo is rarely useful either. You can reduce overhead by disabling these.

At 1071 fc9 packages, it's your call, but I would say: just finish the job, backing off would be far more difficult now.

P.S. "finish the job" = disable the source and debuginfo repos, and do a global yum update against the rawhide and *-devel repos to get everything up to *.fc9

P.P.S. Might not be a bad idea to disable the 'updates' repos either, at least try first without them , then only enable them if missing dependencies pop up.
