Had a quick look and cannot find any info in docs about this problem.

Add info to install-guide about deleting orphaned and obsolete packages after
fedup upgrade.

Until a garbage collection program or fedup etc updating this info is required
so users can do it manually.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-install docs F19+

How reproducible:

Refer Bug id 978037 which shows that an F17 obsoleted package found in F19
current release after upgrade with fedup from F17.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install F18
2. fedup upgrade to F19
3. Run the commands in Bug id 978037 Comment 6 to see obsoleted or orphaned
   packages. 

Actual results:
yum local repo still has obsolete and orphaned packages after fedup upgrade

Expected results:
Until a garbage collection program is completed or fedup is updated please 
add this to install documenation.
