So preupgrade works fine on F7.

It's known to be unstable and *will* break horribly under certain (not uncommon) circumstances. I'm glad you were lucky enough to get through it unscathed! If anyone else is still using F7, it *might* work better if you install the F8 preupgrade package (which *can* upgrade to F10) and use that instead. But I haven't tested that, because F7 is long-dead. I'll give that a try when I have some free time; if it works, I'll see if it's possible to get an updated preupgrade package into the F7 repos somehow. -w
