You have to boot Fedora to run yum. You don't use Debian and chroot into your Fedora partition. Can you boot Fedora? If need be you could ssh into your running session. If I'm misunderstanding you and you're getting this dependency issue, simply add the dependency to what you're upgrading, e.g.: yum update yum yum-updatesd If you simply run: yum upgrade you'll pick up all dependencies, but be careful not to lose your Speakup Modified kernel rpm. The exclude is still agood idea for that reason, though it forces you to grab kernels by hand. There is an argument you can try in your /etc/yum.repos.d/speakupmodified.repo: kernelpkgnames=kernel-*spk but the yum docs list this as deprecated, so I don't know what the future is on that.
