Another trick that works with Ubuntu is to uninstall all the MythTV
packages, then do the distro upgrade, and then re-install the MythTV
packages.  But that relies on the package uninstall not deleting the
data that was created by running MythTV, as opposed to was installed
by the packages.  I have no idea if Fedora packaging works the same
way.
