Hi Folks,

Using preupgrade-1.0.0-1 to update an f9 system to f10 seems to have worked OK but the upgrade hung while finalizing the upgrade after finishing the package transaction.

The last thing in the log was uno.bin segfaulting and I was getting repeated

Uno.bin segafault happens but has not influence on my preupgrade process. I used 0.9.9 and it finished OK, just the finalizing took a long time.
Did you wait enought?

I left it until over an hour after the package transaction had completed (headed out to lunch) - anaconda was consuming moderate amounts of CPU but there was almost no disk I/O going on by this point.

Maybe somebody can shed a light what this "finalizing" means, and why it is taking so long.

I saw the same with pure anaconda upgrade (no pre-upgrade). I guess it was removing old packages or doing some cleanup. My machine ended up with over 500 duplicating packages (fc9 & fc10 version) and some broken dependencies. Removing all fc9 packages that had corresponding fc10 packages & doing yum update afterwards fixed all deps issues and made rpm -V happy again.
