I did an FC6 to FC7 upgrade via yum recently. The "cleanup" portion of
the upgrade crashed. I learned from this list to use package-cleanup
--orphans to find all the odd balls.
I've cleaned up most things, but I'm struggling with a few. For
example, libdvdread still comes from fc6 insted of fc7. If I attempt to
remove libdvdread, dozens of packages will get removed. I can certainly
reinstall them, but, I'm wondering if there is another package-cleanup
trick I can use to resolve some of these issues.
Available Packages
libdvdread.i386 0.9.7-2.fc7 fedora
Can I somehow swap out the libdvdread package without deleting it and
all of it's dependencies?
Thanks,
Jim

Some of the packages for Fedora 7 *are* from Fedora Core 6. Not
everything was rebuilt for Fedora 7. Actually there are still some
Fedora Core 6 packages and Fedora 7 packages in Fedora 8.

This is caused by the atrpms repo having a newer libdvdread package
for FC6 than the fedora repo has for F7. (0.9.7-4.fc6.at >
0.9.7-2.fc7)

I can think of a few ways (disclaimer: I haven't had my morning sugar
intake yet). You could use rpm -e --nodeps libdvdread to erase the
libdvdread package without touching any dependencies. Then yum
install libdvdread to bring it back.
Or, you could use the yum-allowdowngrade plugin which adds an
--allow-downgrade option to yum. Then you could try to install the
"older" libdvdread using yum --allow-downgrade libdvdread-0.9.7-2.fc7

Todd,
Thanks for the advice, I found that rpm -e worked fine. My installation
appears clean now without any orphans or missing dependencies.
