I'm installing Fedora 30 on a system that has an existing linux
installation. It is my intention to replace the existing linux.

I'm using custom partitioning.

When exiting the custom partitioning page (click Done) it says that
there's an error, but does not elaborate. A second click on done gives
me a summary page with three errors (ext4 partitions) and no
explanation.

On the installation summary page, "begin installation" is not enabled.

FWIW, the boot loader is UEFI

The EFI partition *has* to be vfat, so that might be your issue.  Hard
to say without looking over your shoulder.  When I installed an EFI
system I had to create three extra partitions on the gpt disk before
the install worked right.  That was a while ago, and the details are
vague to me now, but there was a partition for efi, a partition for
keeping the disk layout, and a backup mbr partition.  A search for EFI
and gpt should get you the information.  Or maybe someone else has it
off the top of their head.

And you have to assign it to "/boot/efi".
