Folks,
I tried to upgrade a system to F29 this AM. The upgrade failed with
the following error:

There are useful docs on how to exactly upgrade from one Fedora
version to the next - I started using them for upgrading since F24 ->
F25, IIRC. So far that routine never failed me. I'm now on F27.
Step by step:

Also it's probably a safer bet, to log out of your X/Graphical
session, login on a tty, and then update/upgrade from only there. An
additional good idea even seems to first start a tmux session on the
tty and then update from within there: here's an advice from a Redhat
person:
"that should allow the dnf process running within the screen or tmux
session to survive if the desktop or terminal app crashes.":
The latter seems to be writing about a dnf upgrade inside a running
graphical Desktop session, but I think it might also help if a tty
session crashes (never seen the latter, IIRC - but better safe ... )

Use the documentation - they're here for a reason .. ;)
Good luck!
