You have gained wisdom, the fc17->fc18 upgrade path(s) are not robust. Sometime 
f'ed-up will work, sometimes yum will work, always fresh install will work.

NOTE: by "will work" I mean will result in a useful system after 1st reboot. 
Booting into a vermin ridden pile of dysfunctional features is not working, it 
is "salvageable" and no more.
