Since updating from Core 16 to Core 17, I've been getting some yum dependency
failures, with the diagnostic

"Processing Conflict: [package name] conflicts filesystem<  3"

or

"Processing Conflict: [package name] conflicts filesystem<  3-2"

Apparently, this is supposed to occur when one attempts to install a package that
needs the new files system on a system using the old file system.

But my file system appears to have been successfully updated. /bin, /lib, and /sbin are aliases for appropriate subdirectories of /usr. If I again try to update
the filesystem, dmesg reports that it was already updated.

So at what is yum looking that tells it that the file system is not updated, and
how do I fix that?
It seems possible the system thinks you have the old version of filesystem still
installed.

What does

 rpm q filesystem     or    rpm -qa | grep ^filesystem

return?

Ah, it returned

  filesystem-3-2.fc17.i686
  filesystem-2.4.44-1.fc16.i686

and

  yum erase filesystem-2.4.44-1.fc16.i686

set things right!

Thanks much!
