I have eight machines all running Fedora (two virtual). I successfully
upgraded seven of them over a few weeks, patiently waiting to see what
issues might appear. The last one to be upgraded is my primary desktop.
All upgrades were done with "dnf system-upgrade" and all appeared to
have been upgraded without significant issues.
BUT, the last one, my primary desktop, was an exception. The upgrade
seemed to have completed successfully and I was happily using it. Then
I discovered that some commands I use every now and then did not work.
The cause was that the associated RPMs were not included in the upgrade
for no apparent reason: firefox, libreoffice, cups. Looking further
and comparing the list of installed RPMs to what had been installed
before, I found more than 350 additional missing RPMs! (A few were
missing because they had been replaced or renamed; I'm only counting
those that had been installed and are still available as part of F41.)
All the missing ones have now been added back manually and things
seem to be working properly. But I'm holding my breath.
