    Yeah, that's what I found in the Fedora forums. So I tried it. Now 
the partition won't boot.

package-cleanup --dupes removed the dupes..at least it said it 
was....but it also ran into a bunch of
files it said were zero-length...what it did about them I don't know. 
Short version: the partition is now
unbootable. So I am back in Fedora 18...where I think I'll stay for a 
while. I don't anticipate re-installing
19...at least not for a while.
