SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the user's experience with the Fedora Linux upgrade process using fedup version 0.9.0 r2.fc20. The user encountered unresolved dependencies related to the kernel and the kmod-nvidia video driver during the upgrade.

Early this AM I ran fedup with version 0.9.0 r2.fc20, the latest. It ended with a number of unresolved dependencies related to kernel and kmod-nvidia video driver. OK, I waited until 1800 CST and ran yum to hopefully resolve the dependencies. Good, they were probably resolved, I haven't compared the files manually yet. But FEDUP 0.9.1-1fc20 also arrived! Darn.

So now I'm waiting on the gurus to tell me what to do when THEY change horses in mid-stream literally. Arrrgh! I have already had one glass of wine before supper, but I sure want another one.
