    Sorry about that. :(


No apologies necessary.  It happens.  I did not mean to sound upset or
angry, I just want to make sure everything is copacetic before upgrading
these systems.


    tracked here:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1277850

    Issue is that
    https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-084749eee7
    that was supposed to be pushed stable a few days ago, didn't
    actually make
    it (for whatever reason).  It's being repushed now.

So, I should be able to upgrade in the next few hours or so?

I'm going to chime in here...I wouldn't upgrade for a week or so at
least if you have that many systems to do. While many folk have
upgraded with no issues, some have had some awful issues. The F23 repos
are still in a state of flux (they're not fully synced yet), there have
been problems with nVidia driver incompatibility with the F23 version
of X, some issues with KDE desktop items not being pushed into release,
etc., etc.

We always seem to have these issues when a new release comes out. The
devel folk do a very good job of testing, but they only have access to
a limited assortment of hardware platforms. Some of the bug-a-boos don't
appear until it gets "into the wild."

Personally, I almost always wait at least two weeks. Sorry gang, but I
don't have the time to catch the spears on new releases and I kind of
rely on some of the others here to winnow out some of the really nasty
gotchas. For those that walk the minefield before me, I am eternally
grateful!
