Fedora 13 to 14 upgrade problem

[Hassan Ibraheem]

Hi,
I'm sorry for the ambiguous subject line, but I couldn't really
describe my problem more specifically.

I firstly tried upgrading to Fedora 14 from 13 using PreUpgrade (the
GTK interface). After rebooting, the package upgrading was interrupted
because of an error upgrading google-chrome-stable (from the Google
repo, admittely my mistake for not disabling it before upgrading), so
I booted using fc13 kernel (more on that later) and removed the
package. Then attempted the upgrade again, and it finished
successfully.

The fc14 kernel however doesn't boot. It gives kernel panic , can't
mount root on unknown block. I checked the grub entry, and found that
there's no initrd line, and there's no initramfs image in /boot for
the fc14 kernel either.
I tried running mkinitrd to create an image for the fc14 kernel, but I
got many lines of
"ERROR: modinfo: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686/modules.dep"

I then checked the package list to remove the kernel then install it
again to see if that would fix the problem, but I noticed another
thing. For most of the packages, I have both the fc13 and fc14
packages.

I then tried upgrading using yum, but I get a duplicate error for most
packages like:
"sssd-1.4.0-2.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with sssd-1.3.0-35.fc13.i686
sssd-client-1.4.0-2.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with sssd-client-1.3.0-35.fc13.i686
stix-fonts-1.0.0-1.fc14.noarch is a duplicate with stix-fonts-0.9-13.fc12.noarch
strigi-devel-0.7.2-5.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with
strigi-devel-0.7.2-5.fc13.i686
strigi-libs-0.7.2-5.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with strigi-libs-0.7.2-5.fc13.i686
stunnel-4.33-1.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with stunnel-4.33-1.fc13.i686

swing-layout-1.0.4-2.fc14.noarch is a duplicate with
swing-layout-1.0.4-1.fc13.i686
syslinux-4.02-3.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with syslinux-3.84-1.fc13.i686
system-config-boot-0.4.1-2.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with
system-config-boot-0.4.1-1.fc12.i686
system-config-date-1.9.61-1.fc14.noarch is a duplicate with
system-config-date-1.9.59-1.fc13.noarch"

Now, I've managed to erase and install the fc14 kernel, and now the
initrd line is added and it boots successfully.
Still one problem remains, I want to get rid of those duplicates, I'm
trying to use package-cleanup, but to fix the problems, it suggests
removing most of KDE. I hope I could avoid that.

I tried to hunt that down with yum, and I found a weird problem with
the akonadi package. It's a duplicate, or it's not!
Many KDE packages depend on akonadi, so I suspect that's the problem.
I can't get rid of the old fc13 akonadi, and keep the fc14 one.
Here's the case:

Obviously, this upgrade is messed up and I don't know what have gone wrong.
Sorry for the long email. :)
