F14 to F15 Did not go well

[Casimiro de Almeida Barreto]

Same here.

Upgraded from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15 from DVD using "default procedure".

It seems that something is broken in rpmdb updating (broken
dependencies? broken cleaning procedure?). What I noticed is that lots
of rpmdb registers kept pointing to fc14 stuff and things like
libxxxyyyzzz is needed for aaa.fc14.xxx and even aaa.fc13.xxx (in fact,
there were zombie dependencies dating back to fc12).

I had to do all the "cleaning" by hand.  That involved installing
individual packages, removing and re-installing some packages, ... a
procedure that consumed something around 8 (working) hours, so problems
in upgrading are not trivial for average users.

Besides, upgrading process didn't upgrade kde/kdm and as the particular
box I upgraded yesterday uses kdm, I had to reverse it to gdm/gnome,
manually upgrade kde/kdm & restart.

Upgrading doesn't upgrades the themes and I had to do it manually (first
complaint when starting kdm & it claims that lovelock stuff was not found).

It seems that a lot of old stuff was left in zombie state after
upgrading: +/- 500MBytes "disappeared" from box HD... I'll have to do
some housekeeping to find and remove stray libraries, etc.

Other nasty thing was that network configurations were lost. I had to
manually reconfigure network after upgrade.
