Thanks for the advice.
I tried running "sudo dnf distro-sync" but it went through dozens of mirrors
looking for various anaconda related packages before ending with
Error: Error downloading packages:
Cannot download Packages/a/anaconda-gui-23.19.7-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm:
All mirrors were tried
So I ran "sudo dnf --exclude=anaconda* distro-sync"
which rather to my surprise ran, with the result:
Install 1 Package
Upgrade 20 Packages
Downgrade 186 Packages
The upgraded packages were nearly all abrt*.
I take it the downgraded packages were in fedora-upgrades-testing
but have not been transferred to fedora-upgrades.
I find this slightly surprising, as everything seemed to work fine.
I had assumed that all the packages in fedora-upgrades-testing
would be transferred to fedora-upgrades
when the final version of Fedora-23 came out.
I'm afraid that on re-booting my WiFi connection failed to come up,
with the message
The WiFi network cannot be located.
I had to turn selinux to permissive, and play with the settings
for half-an-hour before my WiFi connection was restored.
