The below is after I updated from F21 to F22 on a Lenovo X220
baremetal.
No, first, I must mention: the machine was running Fedora 20, so I did a
`fedup --network 21 --product=workstation` followed by duplicate
cleanups, all of which went smoothly.
Then, I moved to F22. Events in order:
(1) Upgrade:
$ dnf --refresh --releasever=f21 distro-sync
Typo, I obviously meant: s/f21/22
This was a bad thing that I did: using `dnf distro-sync` to upgrade from
F21 to F22 instead of `fedup` while we're in the middle of replacing
'yum' with 'dnf'. I should have used either `yum` or should have
`restorecon -R /` before rebooting!
$ reboot
(2) Boot fails, because it's stuck at:
"Failed to load SELinux policy. Freezing".
Reboot and go with 'enforcing=0' on Kernel command line, to get a
successful boot. (SELinux policy version:
selinux-policy-3.13.1-116.fc22.noarch)
On a system that I reprovisioned due to various other issues, I was
hitting this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1204488 -- `dnf update`
results in "CRITICAL Failed to obtain the transaction lock (logged
in as: root)."
Wonder if it's legitmate. I briefly popped into #yum on Freenode, and
one of the `dnf` developers said the above bug could likely be an RPM
issue.
But if anyone else can reproduce it or not, remained to be seen.
