              It may
                be an artifact of people who have trouble being more
                likely to write to the list, but it seems that people
                who have Fedup problems seem to outnumber those who have
                success outright with no problems first try.  That's
                probably not the case though.

                
                The issues are probably caused by people who add stuff
                from foreign repos.  How else would you end up with an
                F18 kernel that was newer than the F19 kernel that you
                were trying to replace it with?  That doesn't happen to
                all F18 users does it?  My money is on NO.
              

              No custom kernels... for some reason F18 ended up
                with 3.9.10 and F19 is still on 3.9.9 (or something like
                that).
              

              I do have some custom packages, but nothing that
                would prevent basic functionality, mostly end user apps,
                and they're all in a local repository which I rebuild
                F19 packages in most cases. 
              

              fedup only updated about 500 packages. When I got my
                system fixed enough to run yum update, it still needed
                about 1100.
              

              My guess at this point is that fedup assumed that
                because my local repository was "local" (over nfs) that
                it didn't need to add these packages to
                /var/lib/fedora-upgrade. If this is indeed the case that
                is a VERY bad assumption. It's nuts to not include ALL
                the packages needed for the upgrade transaction. And
                even if there's a good reason not to (I can't think of
                one) then if you're missing 1100 packages, it should
                refuse to do the upgrade.

    FWIW, I used a straight network upgrade. It upgraded more than 3000
    packages and took two and one-half hours to do it after I booted
    into System Upgrade.

    
    I have no problems. The only strange thing was that libdvdcss2 is
    still an F18 version--but when I ran rpmsearch that happens to be
    the latest version it returned.

    
    Also FWIW, I upgraded within two days of the announcement. Since
    then I've taken two kernel updates, so now I have three F19 kernel
    versions, plus the rescue option that I understand is the preferred
    method when adding new hardware.
