Follow up as promised....

I have updated my F9 fine now.  I found that I cannot
install Kadu and did not really want gyachi either since
both are assumably broken, I'll wait for later updates when
they become available.  Same with fuse-emulator - since I don't
really need it either - maybe later.

I'm happy as a clam now ;)

Thanks for all the help!
