Upgrade FC6 -> FC7 (rpm issue)

Hi,
I wanted to upgrade my FC6 instalation, so I found out that I should do:
(after yum upgrade clean all)

rpm -UhV http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...0-1.noarch.rpm

rpm -UhV http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...7-3.noarch.rpm

But, running the first one already gives me:
Code:
root@localhost # rpm -UhV  http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-release-notes-7.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
--upgrade: unknown option
Which is strange because I am 99% sure that when I did FC5->FC6 a year ago, it was working. (and it exists in the man page)
Code:
root@localhost # rpm -qa yum rpm python pirut rpm-python rpm-libs                                                                                          
rpm-4.4.2.1-2.fc6
rpm-libs-4.4.2.1-2.fc6
yum-3.0.6-1.fc6
python-2.4.4-1.fc6
rpm-python-4.4.2.1-2.fc6
pirut-1.2.8-1.fc6

When I remove the -U option it complained about "--hash", when I removed the "-h" it gave me:
Code:
package http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-release-notes-7.0.0-1.noarch.rpm is not installed
And similar when I downloaded the file and tried giving only the name.

What can I do to fix this?
Maybe reinstall rpm, but I don't know how.

No:
rpm -UhV

is verify, not compatible with U. Should be:
rpm -Uhv

V

Argh, now I feel stupid

I was trying almost everything with the other options, but assumed that because V doesn't complain I am good with it.

Thank you very much for quick response, I managed to upgrade few hours ago and my system seams stable (have to try FC7->FC8 next

Regards,
Krzysztof Krason
