As the Fedora 18 Beta had been stable on my x86_64 test system, I decided to update the Pi from F17 to F18..\u00a0\u00a0 As there is no ‘update’ image available, the only way is to use YUM..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Instructions are on the Fedora site:
\nhttp:\/\/fedoraproject.org\/wiki\/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_17_-.3E_Fedora_18<\/a>
\nI found that the rpm –import<\/strong><\/em> command failed with a curl error:
\n# rpm –import https:\/\/fedoraproject.org\/static\/DE7F38BD.txt<\/em><\/strong>
\ncurl: (60) Peer’s Certificate has expired.<\/strong>…………..etc…………
\n…………………………………
\nSo… I just downloaded the key file manually, and then ran rpm –import<\/strong><\/em> on that local file, and it worked.<\/p>\n

Next, I found a conflict with libxfce4menu<\/strong> when trying the yum update, and using –skip-broken<\/strong><\/em> just caused yum to loop – for several hours – before I killed it..\u00a0 So, I just erased the offending rpm file:
\n# yum erase libxfce4menu<\/em><\/strong>
\n, and then the yum update went ahead.. and completed successfully
\nThen I ran # rpm –rebuilddb<\/strong><\/em>, as per the instructions, and the update was complete..!<\/p>\n

Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)<\/strong>
\nKernel 3.6.9-pi on an armv6l (ttyAMA0)<\/strong><\/p>\n
