F15 update failure

[hammondo]

using the Software Update tool, I get the following:

Transaction error could not add package update for fedora-release-rawhide-15-3(noarch)updates: fedora-release-rawhide-15-3.noarch

until today updates have gone smoothly, but I gather from other threads there may be a known problem

system is working fine but I apparently have 201 updates to perform and I don't like getting too far behind

TIA for insights-

That package should have been removed ages ago (unless you haven't updated in a long time). Rawhide is now F16. It should have been replaced by fedora-release-15-3(noarch). You don't say if you want to be running rawhide or F15, so, I can't really tell you what to install or what repos should be active for you. I'd remove the fedora-release-rawhide app and install the fedora-release-15 app (if you want to be running F15) and see if it solves the problem. If it doesn't, then check in /etc/yum.repos.d and see if the correct repos are enabled/disabled and try updating again.

The bork problem that faced us yesterday has been solved. You should be fine as the problem packages have been removed and reconfigured properly. I'm the one who started the thread on the problem and did the "yum update" today with no issues.

I'm still getting the exact same error with only the F15 - x86_64 and F15 - x86_64 - Updates checked in the repo list.

Are the problem packages still in the 64bit repos maybe?

It's a packagekit bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=716752

Use yum for now and you should work around the problem.

I'm new to Fedora (used to use Ubuntu/Debian) and I did not know there is a fundamental difference between the GUI and the terminal way of updating with

su -
yum update

That fixed it, thanks... Will I have to continue doing it that way for now?

[PiElle]

No I think this issue is already solved ...

make sure when installed you type exit & exit however you can setup sudo in fedora if you install AutoPlus by Dangermouse. look in Fedora Set-up Guides on how to install AutoPlus

This issue is not good presentation for the first time user.
Anyway, thanks for this help. But think about consequencies, it can argue people from using Fedora(or any other distro). That's important weakness.

[nirik]

Sure.

I think you will be hard pressed to find any distro that never has bugs or makes mistakes. Sorry this one is happening...

Thanks for this post. It's helping me get updates with F15 on my HP Pavilion dv6835nr.
