Summary0007308: Update to RC failed
DescriptionI had the link http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64-latest/ in my yum repo file. Did a update and changed the entry in repo to http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64-20140704-1/.

After that I did a yum update again. The update from centos-release failed. Here the output:

Try

# rm -rf /usr/share/doc/redhat-release
# rm -rf /usr/share/doc/centos-release

and then try updating the centos-release package again. The symlinks for these directories were changed at some point, and yum doesn't seem to be able to handle the transition.

Ok, that is what I did, of course ;-)

The background of bug report is to show what happen if you do this update.
But I don't know how important this is, and if it's easy to fix.

Thanks for quick answering to my bugs.

Yes, sure, thanks for testing and the bug report, this is much appreciated.

I'm closing this bug as "not fixable" for now. It is known that upgrading from a prior pre-release centos-release to the current centos-release can lead to the error you described. Fresh installs of the newest centos-release package work without problems, so this is not going to be a problem for CentOS 7 GA. Note that there is no supported upgrade path from RC to GA. A fresh reinstall of the GA version is recommended, when CentOS 7 eventually hits General Availability.
