Hi,

I'm playing with some new hardware - x86_64.

I wanted to install Fedora 8 Test 1 on it but the installer barfs during
the installation process. So, I've installed Fedora 7 and am upgrading
to the rawhide code.

I've done this by:

1. Enabling the development repo in fedora-development.repo
2. Upgrading fedora-release (now have 7.91-1 installed)
3. Running "yum upgrade"


This downloads about 1GB of packages, but the transaction test fails with:

Transaction Check Error:
  file /etc/dbus-1/session.conf from install of dbus-1.1.2-4.fc8
conflicts with file from package dbus-1.0.2-4.fc7
  file /etc/dbus-1/system.conf from install of dbus-1.1.2-4.fc8

  file /lib/libdbus-1.so.3 from install of dbus-libs-1.1.2-4.fc8
conflicts with file from package dbus-1.0.2-4.fc7

Any ideas how I can overcome this?

R.
