Hello:
Not sure if F7 test has yum-updatesd running by defualt or not. [not on F7 at the moment]
To check :
system-config-services
then stop the service and then disable it, save your settings, exit and then try
yum clean all
then
yum -y update yum
then
yum -y install yumex
yumex is a gui front end for yum and it will make it easier for you to
remove offending packages [dependency wise] if any show up in your
whopping
Total download size: 911 M update.
once yumex has been installed close the terminal and then open up another as root and do a
yum clean all
then exit and use yumex
it is located in Applications/ System Tools / Yum Extender
You also may want to consider selecting 30-40 packages at time to update. It will probably go easier.
