Thanks to all for the help, but I think I am going to wait for the
FC4
official release and then reinstall the rhn and up2date related
package(s) and grab the release package too. Between those I am sure it
will be all happy. Then I will have a clean slate, and I can edit in
the development repos at that point.
Afaik it is advisable to reinstall a fresh clean copy of FC4 instead of
upgrading your FC4Tx box to FC4. Iirc only upgrades from major to major
are officially possible (eg FC3 -> FC4) and not even then a guarantee
for success.
Frankly, I think the recent constant breakage of up2date is a
subversive
way to get the last hold-outs like me fully switched over to yum. It
may have finally worked here!
Yum has worked so much better for me that I don't know why anyone would
want to hold on to up2date. Choice is good unless imho the alternative
compared to yum is a nice much appreciated attempt from the early
days :)
