Keep in mind that the soft-release is not final code. The 8.200 GA (final) is expected to be released anytime between now and the 17th of August. 8.201 will be released VERY soon afterwards (somewhere between at the same time and a few days later). Then there's 8.202 which is also already in the works...
Either reinstall from the 8.200 GA ISO when it is released or modify /etc/version to a prior version number (like 8.103), which will allow the install of the GA up2date package. Given the number of issues in the soft-release, I personally plan on doing a fresh install.

@ x-cimo. A soft-release can be considered a release candidate. Most of the time there aren't any major problems and a SR does become the final GA code. Things are a bit different in the case of 8.200. Quite a few bugs weren't found by testers late in the beta, so these were in SRv1 and a later SRv2 was released to fix one issue. As you will read in another thread by Angelo, it is now expected that 8.200 GA, with even more fixes built-in, and 8.201 u2d GA will be released late next week. These will fix many of the currently existing issues. Following shortly after that will be the 8.202 u2d.
