Same result, no packages marked for sync. It doesn't do anything and
the packages from 17 remain installed along with the ones from 18.
Is there a way to get rid of the packages from 17 and to replace them
with those from 18 without breaking anything? This is something the
package management is supposed to take care of in the first place so a
situation like this should never occur ...
Hmm, I could do
package-cleanup --dupes | grep fc17 | xargs yum remove
... but how do I know if essential packages are being removed that way?
At least what yum says looks good as in that there don't seem to be any
packages from 18 removed that way, and I'd get rid of 1289 packages.
