I'm not too familiar with the upgrade process (since I usually have /home on a separate partition, and I reinstall instead of upgrading). In fact, it wasn't until I looked at the PreUpgrade page[1] that I realized that you could go directly from 12 to 14 (instead of 12 to 13 and then from 13 to 14). > So, my question is, what do I do?

In general, the repositories (for Fedora, RPMFusion, and Livna) aren't live until the actual release date (tomorrow). I'm usually inclined to reinstall instead of upgrade anyway, and getting the errors you described would only reassure me further. :) Since you've already started doing an upgrade, you might try it again tomorrow, and if that fails, then it might be easiest to just reinstall. But maybe someone else will have different advice.
