A direct upgrade from F18 to F20?
some time ago, I ran fedup to fc20 and it worked perfectly. I booted into
fc20 and I had no serious problems.
I have been without internet for many weeks. I used a hotspot to finally
run yum update, and it worked fine, ecept for the glitch of installing
kernel-devel

Since you're looking for a work-around, have you tried removing the
installed kernel-devel package and installing the new one afterwards?
It could be that you don't even need the files within it. In case there
are dependencies, plain old "rpm" knows how to deal with such a case.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will indeed try it.
I have been under the impression that the package may be corrupted.

If you want to verify packages, run "rpm -Kv …" on the file.
Thanx again for the tips.
