do you not understand that with this two lines you lead people to damage their system because they are simply bullshit and dangerous? posts like yours are the root cause of other threads to solve troubles
I lead people to ask more questions, which is good.
postings like yours are the reason for "dist upgrade with yum makes troubles most of the time" while people like me following instructions, try to understand them and made some hundret upgrades without troubles
--ditto--, bur only a dozen or so.
so especially in case of SENSITIVE things like a dist-upgrade be specific and 100% correct or do not say anything at all
