I think you need to turn off GPG signature checking to prevent some
update issues. A quick search on google for "upgrade FC3 to FC4" gave an
interesting link which basically said that it is possible to mess up:

Given the mixed results I'd recommend a clean install of FC4Tx/FC4 over
an upgrade from FC3 to FC4Tx/FC4.
