Preupgrade on Fedora-7
I just resurrected an old computer running Fedora-7.
I ran "yum update" and it successfully updated 420 packages,
amounting to 850MB.
But when I yum-installed preupgrade, and then ran preupgrade,
I got the error:
-----------------------------------------------------
[tim@harriet yum.repos.d]$ sudo preupgrade
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 19, in <module>

-----------------------------------------------------
I didn't really expect preupgrade to upgrade this machine to Fedora-10;
but why is it offered if it doesn't work?
