I have finally managed to upgrade to FC6. I upgraded to FC5 first, then to
FC6. I doubt upgrading to FC5 was any useful. When I got to upgrade to FC6 I
still had the rpm dep examination stalling. I came back one hour later and
found I could go on with installation. I don't know how long it took before
the progress bar got updated. There ought to be better feedback. When I
upgraded to FC5, the progress bar started moving immediately at the same
stage.
