Whoa... That is weird...
After installing 0.94, everything seemed peachy. I then installed
various packages via yum, and compiled additional src.rpms. Proceeded
to build vanilla 2.6.0-test6 and the nvidia module.
Created the directory to see what that would get me, and then I
notice
that yum reported 404 errors due to it believing $releasever is 9.0.93
Ran up2date and it also thought the system was 9.0.93.
cat /etc/redhat-release reports Fedora Core release 0.94 (Severn)
rpm -q redhat-release reported not-installed. So I did a rpm --rebuilddb
rpm now reports redhat-release-9.0.93-4. What?
It is reporting all kinds of old 9.0.93 packages, although the new
packages are installed, and during 0.94 install, I told it to format
everything but my separate /home partition.
How the heck did it pull 9.0.93 packages out of its butt when the
partitions were supposedly formatted? Hit a glitch in the space-time
continuum?
Is your yum configuration file, /etc/yum.conf, set up correctly? Perhaps
it is listing a 9.0.93 repository. This could explain why you're getting
packages mixed from both versions.
