I ran preupgrade to go from F10 to F11 and I was pleasantly surprised (because F9->F10 was a mess) that it worked almost flawlessly.
When I booted into F11 for the first time, I got a warning about a ssl library not being found. To cut a long story short, I have found that there are 62 packages that did not get updated from F10, one of them being httpd. I considered just deleting the offending rpm and reinstalling but there are so many dependencies.
Is this a common problem and how have others overcome it.
Thanks, Steve

Packages that don't have new dependencies or internal changes are not relabeled with the version change. Run from a root terminal session yum clean all yum update to catch up with all the updates since the initial issue of F11. If there are missing dependencies use the --skip-broken option for yum if yum-utils is installed. It is possible that there is an selinux label problem. Putting a zero length file with the name .autorelabel into / and rebooting will solve some problems. If the library is still missing you'll have to do some sleuthing to find where it was supposed to be found.
yum whatprovides libname
is useful.

Thanks for the suggestions but they didn't help.
I noticed that nearly all the fc10 packages that were left around were -devel or -debug so I just deleted them.
There were a couple that had no dependencies so I just yum removed and then yum installed them.
I'm still having a problem with httpd. I yum removed it and its 10 dependencies and then re-installed them all (apart from bugzilla which I don't need) but when I try to restart the service I get this error:
# run_init service httpd restart Authenticating steve.

That just returns "No Matches found"
In the end I just commented out the 2 offending lines:
#LoadModule file_cache_module modules/mod_file_cache.so #LoadModule mem_cache_module modules/mod_mem_cache.so
and httpd start OK now. I don't know what those two lines do but I haven't noticed any difference yet.
Ah! I did a bit of digging and found this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505048. although the directives are still in my .rpmnew file.
