In spite of it being glaringly clear on the -current webpage/guide, I too made 
that mistake. In my case I simply did a new/fresh installation. It was the 
easiest way, although I did first roll back to the Jul 30 snapshot and wait for 
a later one to allow time for all the packages to be brought up-to-date (which 
I believe they are now), currently using 16/09 snapshot.
