Often there is a package or two that I need to remove before I upgrade, because of some conflict.  Once I lost the nvidia drivers, and had to reinstall them.

I'm using Fedora, and it checks the upgrade will work before updating.  The only things that may break are binaries I've compiled myself, because of updates to the libraries.  Compiling them again fixes it, but that is rare.

What distro are you trying to upgrade?
