Hello Qubes Group.
I happened to notice the instruction now available, while wondering why
my VM Manager Fedora-26 green arrow wouldn't disappear. and have
proceeded to go from 26->28
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/template/fedora/upgrade-27-to-28/#qubes-40-instructions
I did *note the caveat

To work around this error:
Upgrade while excluding the problematic packages by using -x
python2-xcffib -x qubes-gui-vm -x qubes-gui-agent.
Upgrade python2-xcffib using sudo dnf swap python-xcffib
python2-xcffib. (This should automatically upgrade the other excluded
packages too.)

which I assume means
---
sudo dnf --releasever=28 distro-sync --best --allowerasing -x
python2-xcffib -x qubes-gui-vm -x qubes-gui-agent ??
---
seeing they were python errors, I assumed it might be this and did do:
--
sudo dnf swap python-xcffib python2-xcffib
--
However, then I see:
--
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful
transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Error: Error downloading packages:

*Then examine the initial error closer I note that these seem to be
different python errors
I get these errors:

so am I too try :
sudo dnf --releasever=28 distro-sync --best --allowerasing -x dnf -x
iniparse
I'd rather not guess, and have a broken template to build on , or
create some kind of holes , etc
cheers
actually if I base an AppVM on the Fedora-28 Template the qvm-start
<foo> won't start and killing it I get various python errors
........so guess need to resolve the upgrade errors .....
