Did you file any bug reports against either version to enable folks to
know that the install failed for you and to perhaps investigate a
resolution?

F9 has been out for almost a year already. There has been ample time to
pursue bug reports and possible fixes/workarounds.

If there is a bug preventing you from installing, get it filed. 
Otherwise, you have a decision to make here. Stay with F8 at your own
peril or move to another Linux distribution that works for you.

Even if these repos stay online, they are not providing updated versions
of the packages for either bug or security fixes. You are stuck, one way
or another.

HTH,
