Before you showed me how to set up yum.conf. I attempted to get it
to go to the right tree by editing /etc/fedora-release.
Now when I run yum upgrade as suggested it errors out on the
release.
yum upgrade
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Rawhide Development
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Finding obsoleted packages
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 260, in main
obsoleting, obsoleted = clientStuff.returnObsoletes(HeaderInfo, rpmDBInfo, nulist)
File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 286, in returnObsoletes
rc = rpmUtils.compareEVR((e1, v1, r1), (obe, obv, obr))
File "/usr/share/yum/rpmUtils.py", line 121, in compareEVR
rc = rpm.labelCompare((e1, v1, r1), (e2, v2, r2))
rpm.error: Invalid version or release - possibly None
I tried setting the file back to original state but yum isn't buying
it. Finally I tried installing the fedora-release in rawhide.
Still yum errors out on release problem. Finally I tried updating to
most recent yum, but it still errors out on `release'.
Any idea how I can fix that and get on trying the upgrade?
