Welcome to Fedora 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat)!
But, the blue progress bar during bootup shows "Fedora 18."
Kernel appears to be F18, though:
$ uname -a
Linux harrier.xxx.com 3.9.11-200.fc18.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Jul 22
21:19:06 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
By way of additional info, after running fedup with no errors, I
rebooted, picking the "Fedora Upgrade" option. Then went to dinner.
When I returned, the system was *powered completely down*. Booting it
revealed the F18 message on the progress bar.
yum update shows a string of "some-package.fc19 is a duplicate of
same-package.fc18
I don't see anything untoward in /var/log/fedup.log. Seems whatever
has happened occurred after the reboot into the upgrade.
If a kernel update wasn't done as part of the upgrade, the boot message
will still report F18, until the first F19 kernel update gets installed.
Running package-cleanup --cleandupes should remove the F18 package if an
F19 package is already installed. Do that, then as long as the
fedora-release package was updated to F19, you should be able to run
'yum update', and complete the upgrade.
It would appear the key part of my experience was finding the system
powered down with no indication as to why. Long story short: it looks
like I have a hardware power issue and that almost nothing of F19 was
actually upgraded on the first round. I was able to re-run 'fedup'
successfully, reboot, get the FedUp option again, and a couple of
thousand upgrades got done. A half hour after completion however, I
again ran into power issues--neither AC nor battery power seems to work
now, so it appears the problem was external to 'fedup' and that I really
need a Lenovo repair shop, here in Baltimore. :=(
