The issues are probably caused by people who add stuff from
foreign repos. How else would you end up with an F18 kernel that
was newer than the F19 kernel that you were trying to replace it
with? That doesn't happen to all F18 users does it? My money is
on NO.
No custom kernels... for some reason F18 ended up with 3.9.10 and F19
is still on 3.9.9 (or something like that).
I do have some custom packages, but nothing that would prevent basic
functionality, mostly end user apps, and they're all in a local
repository which I rebuild F19 packages in most cases.
fedup only updated about 500 packages. When I got my system fixed
enough to run yum update, it still needed about 1100.
My guess at this point is that fedup assumed that because my local
repository was "local" (over nfs) that it didn't need to add these
packages to /var/lib/fedora-upgrade. If this is indeed the case that
is a VERY bad assumption. It's nuts to not include ALL the packages
needed for the upgrade transaction. And even if there's a good reason
not to (I can't think of one) then if you're missing 1100 packages, it
should refuse to do the upgrade.

FWIW, I used a straight network upgrade. It upgraded more than 3000
packages and took two and one-half hours to do it after I booted into
System Upgrade.
I have no problems. The only strange thing was that libdvdcss2 is still
an F18 version--but when I ran rpmsearch that happens to be the latest
version it returned.
Also FWIW, I upgraded within two days of the announcement. Since then
I've taken two kernel updates, so now I have three F19 kernel versions,
plus the rescue option that I understand is the preferred method when
adding new hardware.
