Comment 5 Will Woods 2012-12-17 23:43:05 UTC 
It looks like you ran fedup on a F18 system and it found nothing to upgrade? Is that right?
Comment 6 D. Charles Pyle 2012-12-18 02:28:06 UTC 
It doesn't upgrade from Alpha to Beta? If I recall correctly, that is what I tried to do but do not recall any other error message about there being nothing to upgrade.
Comment 7 Will Woods 2012-12-18 21:16:24 UTC 
'yum update' or the GNOME/KDE update tools will update from Alpha to Beta, so if you ran any of those tools you already have Beta, and there's nothing to upgrade.

Similarly, if you include the 'updates' repos when installing from Alpha media, you'll end up with Beta (since Alpha + updates = Beta).

Did you install updates on your Alpha system before trying fedup?
Comment 8 D. Charles Pyle 2012-12-18 22:13:27 UTC 
I don't use the GNOME/KDE update tools as they still crash incessantly and end up corrupting the rpm databases.

I do use yum update regularly.

However, I did not use any of these before trying to run fedup to update from Alpha to the Beta release. After the failure I did use yum to upgrade, however.
