I saw exactly the same, with sources/repositories that are not properly 
signed, and other rather obscure errors, meaning that none the packages 
can be installed, unless you ignore all sorts of warnings, which is 
something that I definitely don't recommend.

I run an Ubuntu based version of Linux Mint here, and have Fedora in a 
VM, and in that, the upgrade is pretty safe. And today, I created 
another VM for openSUSE, and in that the Gramps upgrade was a disaster, 
so I cancelled it right away.

As a software engineer, I normally feel quite comfortable with other 
Linux versions, but with Leap, even installing git showed so many alarms 
that I gave up. I wanted to download that to try running Gramps from 
source, which normally works quite well.

Regards,

Enno
