Dear friends,
I installed yum-allowdowngrades, I am using the --allow-downgrade
option and I am specifying the full name of the package. Yet, yum
refuses to replace any fc8 package by its fc7 equivalent. If I say
install, yum says nothing to do. If I say update/upgrade, yum says no
update information. What can I do? Thanks!
I was considering remove/install, but some of the packages are
required by maybe about half of the others (such as zlib).
On the other hand, if I wait, will all those fc8 packages be updated
by fc7 packages?
Oh, I just see I still have xsri for fc6. Is that something to be
concerned about?
Take care
Oliver
Oliver, Does it work? Are you having any problems? If not why are you
trying to repair something that is not broken? ;-)
I run Rawhide, the development branch, and I have packages from FC6, F7, and
F8 together and I have no problems.
