Conf file overwritten

[Shawn Iverson]

Hi David,

Sorry for this mishap.  I am going to spin up a Fedora 26 instance and
attempt the same upgrade path so that we can take a closer look at this.

You should have been able to find a backup copy of your configs in ms_upgrade
under your home path.  We you not able to find one there?
