Yes, this is exactly the problem. I suppose F19 instructions might need to be  
updated to say delete the package using "rpm -e --nodeps" and then it should 
get pulled back in by dependency without pulling in all the i686 stuff. Doing 
that let me get to the next problem. Someone else asked how I was doing the 
upgrade...using this:

Do we really still need to run grub2-install as the instructions say in 
preparing for reboot? It errors out with some warning about ext2 file systems 
not being supported even though its ext3. Then reboot fails saying error: 
symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found.
