Have you tried using package-cleanup?  When I migrated my desktop from 
F14 to F16 it hung and for about a week I was only able to get into text 
mode.  There were a large number of dupes, and I ended up cleaning them 
up manually, a few at a time because package-cleanup seemed to choke on 
such a large number of issues.  (Of course, it might just have taken 
longer than I realized to work.)  Depending on how much time you have, 
it might be worth trying.
