Anyway, the saga is over... Had to boot to a F19 install dvd in rescue
mode, chrooted into my system, yum didn't work (no libffi.so.6, I assume
I had .5).
Tried using yum from the DVD w/ --installroot to /mnt/sysimage...
yum was there but couldn't import the python module yummain (or whatever
it's called) which brings up the point. Isn't a functional yum kinda
important as a tool to rescue your system?
got libffi installed with rpm -r /mnt/sysimage and a few other things to
get a mostly working yum in the chroot...
yum update / distro-sync
package-cleanup --problems showed a bunch of unsatisfied dependencies
but I couldn't find a way to get package-cleanup or yum to handles these
automatically (that would be nice)
manually installed dependencies or just yum reinstalled the parent
app... Problems gone! (mostly)
F18 kernel was newer than F19 and caused my system to continuously
reboot after partially loading
yum erase F18 kernel, yum install F19 kernel
Now it works! Whew, I'm glad that's over

I am happy for you. I have no idea just why you had these troubles. I
did three updates, one desktop machine and two very different laptops,
and I had absolute;y no problems.
It may be an artifact of people who have trouble being more likely to
write to the list, but it seems that people who have Fedup problems seem
to outnumber those who have success outright with no problems first try.
That's probably not the case though.
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.
