Probably my fault, but perhaps usrmove shouldn't fall over when facing this situation. If usrmove really reverted everything to its original state, it seems to me like a case of well-behaving error handling after encountering an unusual situation that cannot be resolved automatically and safely.

When rebooting into the preupgrade environment, the upgrade failed in usrmove: Make a copy of /mnt/sysimage/usr/bin Merge the copy with /mnt/sysimage/bin cp: cannot overwrite directory /mnt/sysimage/usr/bin.usrmove-new/mkdir with non-directory Something failed.

Probably my fault, but perhaps usrmove shouldn't fall over when facing this situation. After removing that weird directory, I rebooted into preupgrade and it worked fine. Now running F17 beta. you should open a bug report in rhbz , with component preupgrade . Tks, -- Sérgio M.
