| The problem with this kind of report is that preupgrade uses the live
| repositories, so any kind of package dependency-type issue you hit is
| more to do with good old packaging human error than it is with
| preupgrade, and is not necessarily likely to be encountered by anyone

| upgrade in this case (yum or DVD/netinst with remote repos enabled).

I did a preupgrade from F16->F17 on Apr 27 and thankfully, all worked out
- I am posting from that laptop. I am sure I took a big risk but so far, 
so good.
