I have just completed 2 upgrade installs with no problems in the installs,
and a couple of minor anomalies afterwards.
If you have packages that are failing to load, you either have a problem
with the installation media or your RPM database. If your RPM database is
corrupted, I strongly suggest you do a clean install.
If you do not have a separate /home file system I strongly suggest that you
back that up to removable media.
My home system is set up with a separate /home and /usr/local partition.
This way I can do a clean install without damaging either of those.
Although I usually recommend clean installs for an OS, the 9.3 to 10.0
upgrade worked very well for me.
