The plural of anecdote is not "evidence". There is no proof that any particular distribution is any more successful at updating than others (for what it's worth, yes, distributions should really do a better job of tracking this stuff). Ubuntu is the most popular distribution, and there are many PPAs from which users install random packages and versions, so there may well be more upgrade failure reports than some other distributions. It's possible. But that's not proof.
The fact is that the upgrade problem is a hard one, especially coping with random packages that users may have installed, or old versions that may still be present. It's a weakness of current Linux distributions. It's the reason why Android just blows away the old system install on every upgrade. I think that's probably the only way to do it 100% reliably.
Of course fedup has problems as well, but the solution is a better one than bootstraping with yum/apt.
Also, I hope we can all agree that this indeed shows that there is no substantial difference between yum/apt

The Dolphin Emu team should just suggest to use the latest release instead of bitch about it?

Originally posted by Vim_User View PostI am interested in that. If Fedora has to write a separate update program, but Debian updates just fine with apt-get (at least I had never any problems with any of my Debian systems), how can there be no substantial difference? I am curious, what is it exactly that prevents an upgrade using yum from being successful?
