On this upgrade go-around (F17->F18) the challenges in the process have been more elevated (I now have an unuseable

to have backups and redundancy.
the problem is that you used a testing-package
consider how oftne someone makes a dist-upgrade at all
now think about how many did it with updates-testing's fedup
now think about how many are doing upgrades with yum

this worked for me several hundrets of times, even in production
but since you are screwed up youre setup i fear you

Thanks Reindl. I am familiar with the yum procedure and have used it
several times: sometimes it has worked, sometimes it has failed. When the
latter, then there is a period (several hours) of tedium of trying to
unravel all of the failing dependencies.
And I understand that updates-testing is well, updates-testing. You don't
need to make the point a second time.
This sort of reprimanding isn't particularly helpful. If the Fedora
community has staked out a position that FedUp is to be a core feature,
then I, as someone, who willingly participates in being on this bleeding
edge, would like some advice on the resources that are available to me to
unwind this dilemma.
Thank you.
