For FC1 -> FC2 upgrading is NOT recommended using apt, yum or any other 
depsolver. Anaconda has a fair bit of magic to fix things for you. Most 
things are manually solvable but if you're using LVM "it has a high chance 
of blowing up spectacularly" according to the anaconda developers - don't 
bother unless you like blowing up systems :)

In any case upgrading with anaconda is the recommended way.
