Other than that, please don't add my name to the mail's subject line

    My apologies for leaving your name in the Subject line.  It was a
    copy paste error that has been perpetuated as others have replied. 

    The RPMFusion repos do have the proper VirtualBox packages, so it
    seems that fedup is not looking at the 3rd party repos that I have
    configured.  

    Interestingly, I found this on the Fedora FedUp Wiki page:

          Will packages in third party repositories be upgraded? 

      Yes, if they are set up like regular yum repositories and do
        not hard code the repository path. Commonly-used third party
        repositories usually work fine, but if you attempt to upgrade
        prior to or soon after an official Fedora release, they may not
        have updated their repository paths yet, and FedUp may be unable
        to find their packages. This will usually not prevent the
        upgrade running successfully, though, and you can update the
        packages from the third-party repository later.

    After reading this, I checked my RPMFusion repos and found that none
    are hard-coded.  All are using the $releasever variable, and all
    resolve to valid repos with the proper packages available.  My
    assumption is that something isn't working as described.
