Just one thing. If something from the testing repo doesn't work and you have to downgrade it, be sure and give it some negative karma, so that the devs know what happened.
I usually do not know where that is!

The bodhi page is https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/ At the top is a search button. Click on that and start typing the package name. It will suggest builds for you. Click on the one you want and you can mark it as good or not.
In this case, negative karma probably would not have been appropriate because there is nothing wrong with the build itself. Although I think sometimes an upgrade path problem is cause for negative karma. adamw would be the one to better explain when that should be used. This is a complicated case of an upgrade path problem and it will likely affect other people still.

FWIW....
I have one system which is my "testing" system that I use for grabbing packages from updates-testing and giving karma when appropriate. Even though I know the folks running the show do all they can to ensure smooth upgrades I'm equally sure they can't account for every eventuality. So, with it comes time for me to upgrade that system I do what I consider prudent before I upgrade. Before the upgrade I run "dnf distro-sync" to get that system into a state where there is less chance of the upgrade running into issues.
Of course I keep tabs on what was changed and if there was any specific reason for needing updates-testing packages other than testing for the sake of testing.

Go to https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/ Then select the package in question and give it a down vote, explaining why.
