On the yum list a question was asked which intrigued me:
Why can anaconda manage to upgrade a system, when yum upgrade can't.
The postulation was that anaconda is cheating (ie running --nodeps
installs). This would allow it to complete an upgrade where dependencies
lead to unavailable packages that are not on the dvd, but are in the
complete Fedora, and or non- fedora repositories, that are not available
at upgrade time.
Is that why it can work ?
Or what are essential differences between an anaconda upgrade and yum
upgrade ?
