Anything that the update complains about, really. =) The problem is with
Python and Boost rebuilds; not all packages have been successfully
rebuilt for Python 2.7 / Boost 1.44 yet, and the ones that haven't will
fail to upgrade. You'll see them complaining about dependencies on
version 1.41 of some Boost library, or version 2.6 of python(abi) or
libpython. These packages you'll just have to remove, for now.

IIRC, with a clean F13 live install, I had to remove notify-python and
gnome-dvb-daemon to do the upgrade, might have been one other I don't
remember. On a system installed from DVD, or which you've been using for
a while and have installed extra apps on, there may be more.

There are fixed versions of most of the offending packages in Koji, and
they may have made it to updates-testing by today.
