Ah ok, that makes sense. Which way is there to upgrade from one release
to the next when neither distro-sync, nor fedup can do this?
i did dist-upgrade swith yum since Fedora 3 several hundret times
even on a *lot* of production servers and "package-cleanup" is not
that hard to hanlde
no idea what is your problem to type "package-cleanup --leaves --all"
and remove unused packages as well as "pckage-cleanup --orphans"
shows you which can probably removed and if you not blindly say
"yes" if there are deps you do not want to remove this is
all really easy to handle twice a year
