To avoid removing of important fc8 packages, I ask to my colleague who have a fresh installation to give me a list of fc8 packages :) and as you can see in my command, I didn’t use -y…it was crappy press y or n for 250 time…but this permit me to have maximum control :)

by the way I know my solution was a bit dirty :)

In fact there are a number packages from previous releases that didn’t have to be updated and still contain the release they came from.

For example, here are some figures from my system with a fresh F9 install:

$ rpm -qa | grep fc6 | wc -l
3
$ rpm -qa | grep fc7 | wc -l
4
$ rpm -qa | grep fc8 | wc -l
18
$ rpm -qa | grep fc9 | wc -l
1166

Now I’m not saying you don’t have any lingering packages from F8… just that some of them might be fine.

Thanks for your suggestion :)

# package-cleanup –cleandupes
