      I would look at yum check and then solve the
        problems one by one. Try reinstalling problematic packages (i.e.
        the ones which yum check reports as duplicates) one at a time,
        possibly forcefully using rpm directly (grab the rpms from koji
        [1] and use rpm -e --nodeps followed by a rpm -i). Once yum
        check is happy, run a yum update to update any remaining
        packages.

             I
                suffered a big problem during this mornings
              update of 19. Yum QUIT after doing the first

              three items in the update. The download and rebuilding of
              delta rpms had gone well.

              
              Now it's suggesting to run yum-complete-transaction...but
              that results in pages and pages

              of changes yum wants to make, including erasing glibc and
              hundreds of others.

              
              What's my best move - I am afraid to do anything at this
              point.

                
          Well it took a lot of handwork but I
      finally cleaned up the mess  using your suggestions for which I
      thank you. 

            I am relatively new to Fedora ( about 6 months at this
      point) but it seems to me Yum is not as robust as some other

      package managers (like Debian's) I have used. That maybe because I
      still am not all that familiar with

      some of Yum's more obscure commands, or with things like package
      cleanup etc.

      Thanks for your help
