rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir) is needed by filesystem-3-2.fc17.x86_64

2012-05-15 Thread Paulo César Pereira de Andrade
  I know I got what I deserved by attempting to fix by hand the move
from / to /usr, just did need to boot from the fedora16 dvd, mount lvm
root and finish my fix; brain fart, and cyclic dep on moving /lib64
to /usr/lib64 and then a symlink, leaving it with all binaries failing
due to missing /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2.
  After that, while it is finishing updating to rawhide right now, I did
go search for documentation, but still find that
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_16_-.3E_Fedora_17
is not much clear about it. Maybe should strongly advise installing
busybox and/or have a step by step procedure. Or even better, to somehow
have it done automatically, by some statically linked program.

  This should have been already discussed to death, but I found worth to
post a note about it as I am somewhat of a newcomer to fedora...

It, um, does have a step by step procedure. Do what it says there, and
it works. I upgraded five boxes.

This is already done if you use any supported upgrade method -
preupgrade or netinst / DVD upgrade.

  Yes, it was me trying to be too smart :-)

  What I did was to install fedora-release-rawhide, disable all
repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d and enable rawhide ones, and then
attempt a few times yum distro-sync until I removed all unresolvable
updates, most due to several review requests and/or requests for
enhancement that I will rebuild...

  Not a criticism, just reporting my hacker instinct of only reading
documentation when everything else fails :-)

Yeah, the reason we have the yum upgrade instructions page is that it's
simply not always possible to ensure a straightforward 'switch repos and
yum upgrade' (or, better, 'yum --releasever=XX distro-sync') will
completely work. That's also why yum isn't an officially supported
upgrade method. /usr move is a good example, really. It would be
impossible, really, to handle it through RPM scripts/triggers alone.
