upgrading my linode from core 1 to core 2 with yum, problems

Hey guys, im trying to upgrade my linode from fedora core 1 to core 2 remotely with yum, and im having problems.

I get this error:

[root@li5-11 etc]# yum upgrade

Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)

Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base

Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates

Finding updated packages

Downloading needed headers

Resolving dependencies

.Package apt needs librpm-4.2.so, this is not available.

Package apt needs librpmdb-4.2.so, this is not available.

Package apt needs librpmio-4.2.so, this is not available.

So i go and do a search, and librpm-4.2.so is in package rpm-4.2.1-0.30.i386.rpm. So i download it and do a rpm –verbose --install rpm*.

It tells me that package is already installed!

[root@li5-11 root]# locate librpm-4.2.so

/usr/lib/librpm-4.2.so

[root@li5-11 root]#

And that file its complaining it doesnt have is already on my box.

What's going on?

Thanks for your help!

Remove apt-get from the system with something along the lines of "rpm -e apt" (or perhaps apt-get), then try the yum upgrade again …

nice. thanks, that worked perfectly. i wasnt exactly sure what "apt" was. looked like it had somethin to do with the rpm manager so i was scared to remove it.
