Fedup upgrade from F17

[Richard Shaw]

I actually just upgraded my F17 to F18 mythtv box and it worked fine. One
thing to note, I keep a couple of local repositories shared via NFS. For
some reason, fedup assumes these packages will be available during the
upgrade and does not copy them to the local disk. To make matters worse,
when it can't find 800 ish of the upgrade packages, it doesn't quit, it
upgrades anyway leaving an unusable system.

For me the trick was:

fedup --network 18 --disablerepo "local*"

After the upgrade I just did a yum update and yum-distro-sync and that
caught up the packages from my local repository.
