[tox]

Fedora release 14 (Branched)

ok this is where it gets confusing but we should be able to fix it i think. ( however you would be best off reinstalling from scratch from a DVD and or CD ) do this for me in Terminal yum repolist

do you have a USB stick?

[OainjaQakanj]

Sure sir. But we need challenges, and this is our one. It is far too many times, were man resolve issue by installing it again. There is lot of hassle and work. There must be way to work it out. Tell me tips and I start digging.

yum-utils-1.1.28-1.fc13.noarch

How did you get yum and yum-utils to be the .fc13 versions? Did you just try to go from F13 to F14 using yum?

The correct versions of yum and yum-utils for F14 are:
yum-3.2.28-3.fc14.noarch
yum-utils-1.1.28-1.fc14.noarch

Download those rpms from a mirror and update both using rpm -Uvh yum*

Your yum version doesn't work with python 2.7.

yum-complete-transaction

[OainjaQakanj]

Yeaah. works like charm. It starts now updating process. Yes I did upgrade via pre upgrade GUI. The way what is warned to do. iI have to run with skip broken, but it works. So actually you are able to solve this by just reading what actually comes up. Next time it will be easier. Now I got only Jre battle to go what is in the other thread. Thanks Guru.

You could try installing Fedora 14 on a USB drive.

I landed here because I've seen this same disconcerting error message:


The backend exited unexpectedly. This is a serious error as the spawned backend did not complete the pending transaction.

Both times I've seen this in the last few days while installing packages with Yum Extender after a big update. (I have a large but finite number of packages installed on my system.) The error appears in an ABRT window, but yumex keeps working and there are no errors printed in the yum log.

I'm running Fedora 13.
