Still F16 repos after upgrading to F17

Hi,
I upgraded from F16 to F17 with preupgrade. Everything seemed to be OK, but I just realized repos are still F16. Is it normal? If not, how can I solve it?
Thank you very much in advance,
Luis Pablo

Re: Still F16 repos after upgrading to F17

Hey Luis

Glad your upgrade went well (mine didn't)
What does cat /etc/yum/vars/releasever give?
And cat /etc/fedora-release?
If still 16 try changing to 17.
What version is sudo yum info fedora-release ?
Try reinstalling fedora-release.noarch from the fedora 17 repo.

Good luck!

Re: Still F16 repos after upgrading to F17

Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate that.
Upgrade was not a trouble free task, I needed to manually download a couple files.

cat /etc/yum/vars/releasever gives "File not found", because that file doesn't exist.
Code:
[root@lpg-dell-fedora vars]# sudo yum info fedora-release

It seems the problem was caused by F16 fedora-release package. I uninstalled it and reinstalled F17 fedora-release. Now everything seems to be OK.

Thank you very much again.

Re: Still F16 repos after upgrading to F17

Finally, after removing manually all duplicated packages from F16 I was able to solve all dependency issues and do a "yum update". Now, everything is OK. This release upgrade was more painful than F15 to F16. I don't understand why F16 packages were not overwritted by the F17 ones.
