Upgrading to Fedora 19
Turns out that my attempt to upgrade my coreutils packages to allow me to use Wake On LAN, required me to upgrade my Fedora 13 to the latest Fedora distribution. So I'm going to try and jump to Fedora 18 (Not quite sure about Fedora 19 yet but will try.) However since the complation of this post, we have upgraded to FC 19 (Fedora Core 19) . This post is extremely long and contains alot of trial and error. If you are simply looking to resolve
rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir) is needed by filesystem
please follow that link or if you are at upgrading from Fedora Core 16 up and you see the above error rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir) is needed by filesystem then simply proceed to Upgrading from FC 16 below. NOTE: Alot of this is trial and error and the notes here are very rough. Links are provided to specific errors where the process is more cleanly defined. Follow at your own risk.
In our case using fed-up or fedora-upgrade had mixed results.

[root@moto F13toF18]# cat errors.txt|grep "Error: Package"|sort|uniq -c
Remove above packages. Here are a few one liners to help identify some based on the above:
cat errors.txt|grep "Error: Package"|sort|uniq -c|sed -e "s/[0-9]://g"|grep -Ev "librep|sawfish|koffice-kchart|koffice-kformula|goffice|system-config-display|tsclient"|awk '{ printf $4" "; }'
rpm -e $(cat errors.txt|grep "Error: Package"|sort|uniq -c|sed -e "s/[0-9]://g"|grep -Ev "librep|sawfish|koffice-kchart|koffice-kformula|goffice|system-config-display|tsclient"|awk '{ printf $4" "; }')
Eventually I needed this one liner to get rid of more packages:

create a symbolic link:
# ln -s libdb-4.8.so libdb-5.3.so
Then link the rest of the missing libraries in a similar manner. And your RPM should limp along but if it doesn't, use the F14 packages and extract using rpm2cpio rpm-4.8.1-5.fc14.i686.rpm | cpio -idm then copy the resultant :

1671817 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 18 10:49 bin
to the / filesystem to overwrite the non working f18 ones. You may need to force the package update of rpm-python for F14 if you get these issues:

So after trying to jump to Fedora 18 from Fedora 13 after numerous attempts, I did the step updates to Fedora 14, then 15 then all the way up to 18. The jump upgrade to Fedora 18 from 13 was too great. Maybe my problems had something to do with the fact that I downloaded and installed the below RPM:
fedora-release-rawhide-15-3.noarch
When upgrading to Fedora 15, booting was a problem with dependency problems. However I did manage to upgrade to FC16 as the SSH connection lasted long enough for that. All in all, simply remove any dependency problems by removing the existing RPM for them to proceed.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_16_-.3E_Fedora_17
yum update filesystem
yields this issue below. (For a resolution on this issue, please see rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir) is needed by filesystem):
ERROR You need to update rpm to handle:

Error: can't get boot images.
The installation repo isn't available.
You need to specify one with –instrepo.
[root@moto F13toF18]# fedup –network 18
So we run this to upgrade further:
fedup –network 18
And that gave me a bootlink / entry in /boot/grub/grub/conf which didn't work. So I'm back to trying using the F18 fedora-release files again. Trying to update rpm and filesystem revealed a dependency chain 1.6GB big. So off I go downloading the stack hoping not to max out my usage for the month.
But that failed on reboot and system got hung on checking LVM2 volumes. Next we try some suggestions from the earlier F16 to F17 page but following the suggestions on the page for using package-cleanup resulted in this:
[root@moto F13toF18]# package-cleanup –orphans|wc -l
3445
[root@moto F13toF18]#
Which essentially lists all the packages (but was supposed to list only those where the RPM scriplet failed.). In order to fix this pesky error, I took the gloves off:

but rpm wasn't in the folder path which I thought was odd. So I downloaded it:
# yumdownloader rpm
and this braught in:
[root@moto packages]# ls -altri rpm*

which is good. So I run:
yum install rpm-4.10.3.1-1.fc18.i686.rpm
to see what happens. And so my error disappears but I get the standard set of errors about broken RPM's so I do this:
yum install rpm-4.10.3.1-1.fc18.i686.rpm –skip-broken
which get's me further along. I get a single error this time:

So we download some needed packages:
# yumdownloader libtiff-devel.i686 libtiff.i686
libtiff-devel-4.0.3-6.fc18.i686.rpm | 469 kB 00:00
libtiff-4.0.3-6.fc18.i686.rpm | 170 kB 00:00
And do an upgrade using rpm of the few key packages:
| Fedora 17 | download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/17/x86_64/libtiff-3.9.7-2.fc17.x86_64.rpm |
We see the above for Fedora 17 but not for Fedora 18. So we may need to scale down a bit to Fedora 17 first. So we force a rollback to 17:
rpm -Uvh –force fedora-release-17-2.noarch.rpm fedora-release-notes-17.1.0-1.fc17.noarch.rpm
yum –releasever=17 –disableplugin=presto distro-sync
and then we repeat getting some of the RPM's from above like the rpm rpm into the /var/cache/yum/fedora/packages directory. Yum update doesn't bring it in by itself hence the error above maybe.

Once you have it downloaded restart the upgrade again to see what else is missing. Use yumdownloader to get the following:

Then

In case of GDM, we were able to remove it without too many dependencies:
file /usr/lib/libgdbm_compat.so.3.0.0 from install of compat-gdbm-1.8.3-12.fc18.i686 conflicts with file from package gdbm-1.8.3-9.fc15.i686
Error Summary
————-
But in the process broke something:
[root@moto packages]# rpm -e gdm-3.2.1.1-10.fc16.i686 fedorainfinity-gdm-theme-8.0.1-3.fc12.noarch pulseaudio-gdm-hooks-0.9.23-1.fc16.i686

warning: /etc/gdm/custom.conf saved as /etc/gdm/custom.conf.rpmsave
[root@moto packages]#
Which is fine. We'll fix it after the upgrade, whenever we get done. And we rerun the line again:
yum install rpm-4.10.3.1-1.fc18.i686.rpm –skip-broken
In this case we get this final conflict. In a way this is good because it tells us we'll get the file back with the newer package:
Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.3.0.0 from install of compat-gdbm-1.8.3-12.fc18.i686 conflicts with file from package gdbm-1.8.3-9.fc15.i686

So we do this:
[root@moto packages]# rpm -Uvh compat-gdbm-1.8.3-12.fc18.i686.rpm –force
Preparing… ########################################### [100%]
1:compat-gdbm ########################################### [100%]
[root@moto packages]# rpm -aq|grep -i compat-gdbm
compat-gdbm-1.8.3-12.fc18.i686
[root@moto packages]#
Then we try the upgrade again.
yum install rpm-4.10.3.1-1.fc18.i686.rpm –skip-broken
And this finally appeared to allow us to upgrade rpm but upon checking, rpm still wasn't upgraded to the fc18 package. So we remove –skip-broken flag and try again removing any packages yum errors on:
[root@moto packages]# rpm -Uvh –test filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir) is needed by filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.i686
[root@moto packages]#
Then we do (some extrapolation from the error name above):
[root@moto packages]# rpm -qpR filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.i686.rpm
rpmlib(BuiltinLuaScripts) <= 4.2.2-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir)
setup
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1
[root@moto packages]#
Amd then:
# yumdownloader systemd
which gives us:
systemd-201-2.fc18.7.i686.rpm
But that didn't help. So we try the rpm package road again but this time we notice something interesting:
[root@moto packages]# rpm -Uvh –force rpm-4.10.3.1-1.fc18.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

So we get the packages using yumdownloader. Looks like a case of alot of missing packages. All in all after some more attempts, we get into this RPM error:

To recover from this, I extract the files like this to get at the files then copy them over:
[root@moto F13toF18]# ls -altri rpm*17*

Then I got this but realized I accidentally grabbed the wrong package (x86_64 istead of the i686):
[root@moto lib]# rpm -qa|grep -i rpm
BDB1565 DB_ENV->stat_print: method not permitted before handle's open method
[root@moto lib]#
3581115 -rw-r–r– 1 root root 132817 Aug 9 14:28 rpm-build-4.9.1.3-6.fc17.x86_64.rpm
So I get the appropriate one and try again but the same issue. I revisit what I did then get th emissing package:
rpm -Uvh rpm-4.10.3.1-1.fc18.i686.rpm rpm-devel-4.10.3.1-1.fc18.i686.rpm rpm-build-libs-4.10.3.1-1.fc18.i686.rpm rpm-libs-4.10.3.1-1.fc18.i686.rpm rpm-python-4.10.3.1-1.fc18.i686.rpm –nodeps

[root@moto F13toF18]#
So we check and restore some files to get this:
[root@moto F13toF18]# rpm -aq
illegal flag specified to DB_ENV->set_timeout
Segmentation fault
[root@moto F13toF18]#
Ad this means we're not linking to the right Berkeley DB library it appears. So we have to down load and link manually libdb-5.3 appropriately:
[root@moto F13toF18]# rpm2cpio libdb-5.3.21-3.fc18.i686.rpm | cpio -idmv
rpm2cpio: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-5.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
cpio: premature end of archive
[root@moto F13toF18]#
So we temporarily link to the libdb-5.3.so to get rpm2cpio working. Once done, we can try to use rpm and yum again hopefully:
[root@moto lib]# ls -altri libdb*
787025 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1551836 Feb 8 2011 libdb-4.7.so

784930 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Aug 9 16:45 libdb-5.3.so -> libdb-5.2.so
[root@moto lib]#
And so rpm2cpio works now but not the rpm executable:
[root@moto F13toF18]# rpm2cpio libdb-5.3.21-3.fc18.i686.rpm | cpio -idmv
./usr/lib/libdb-5.3.so
./usr/lib/libdb-5.so
./usr/share/doc/libdb-5.3.21
./usr/share/doc/libdb-5.3.21/LICENSE
./usr/share/doc/libdb-5.3.21/README
3618 blocks
[root@moto F13toF18]#
But the same still. Looks like another library or RPM itself:
[root@moto lib]# rpm -aq
illegal flag specified to DB_ENV->set_timeout
Segmentation fault
[root@moto lib]#
So we get the FC19 libdb but then get this:
[root@moto lib]# rpm -aq
rpm: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by /usr/lib/libdb-5.3.so)
[root@moto lib]#
So we will get the FC19 rpm RPM's.
So unfortunately we got the same error + 3 others. However, looks like after running rpm2cpio we do not need to worry about the first three it seems:
[root@moto F13toF18]# rpm -aq
error: bad option 'archcolor' at (null):91
error: bad option 'archcolor' at (null):91
error: cannot open /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc at /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc:1: No such file or directory
BDB1565 DB_ENV->stat_print: method not permitted before handle's open method
Segmentation fault
[root@moto F13toF18]#
So we'll focus on the one we need highlighted above. We can get rid of all of these by unlinking like this:
[root@moto lib]# ls -altri /lib/libdb*
787025 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1551836 Feb 8 2011 /lib/libdb-4.7.so

Because we extracted the FC19 ones here (libdb-5.3.21-11.fc19.i686.rpm):
[root@moto lib]# ls -al /usr/lib/libdb-5*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jul 19 12:17 /usr/lib/libdb-5.2.so -> ../../lib/libdb-5.2.so

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1847852 Aug 9 17:24 /usr/lib/libdb-5.so
[root@moto lib]#
So we extract the glibc-2.17-4.fc19.i686.rpm and copy all the files over to the system:
[root@moto F13toF18]# ls -ald etc usr var sbin lib
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 9 18:37 etc
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 9 18:37 lib

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 9 18:37 var
[root@moto F13toF18]#
Which killed my ssh session right away. But I reestablished it which was a relief. Now that we copied the libraries, we unlink libdb-5.3.so from libdb-5.2.so as per above:
784930 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Aug 9 18:27 libdb-5.3.so -> libdb-5.2.so

So, lessons learned, instead of trying to copy all the folders at once, copy the ./lib one individually from the libc package we extracted above, using sash instead of this:
for KEY in $( ls -d etc var usr sbin lib); do /bin/cp -Rp ./$KEY/* /$KEY/; done
This is because during the copy, cp will break and won't copy libc.so.6 properly breaking the rest of the for loop. Take the lib folder out of the loop on the next copy to avoid the break:
[root@moto F13toF18]# for KEY in $( ls -d etc var usr sbin); do /bin/cp -Rp ./$KEY/* /$KEY/; done
[root@moto F13toF18]#
Since we already copied it using sash above. The ./lib subfolders can be copied using regular cp since it will work at that point. Since RPM complains about some of the libraries we have, we'll individually identify them, run strings to search for the error message we are getting in each then update them accordingly:

[root@moto lib]#
whereas the new one does have it:

So now that we run the rpm command again to see what's the latest output to verify we are seeing less issues (Normally this is done with RPM but we need to fix up RPM so we can use it to automaticaly fix up everything else). And sure enough, the error about archcolor is gone and so is the error about rpmrc:
[root@moto lib]# rpm -aq
error: db5 error(-30969) from dbenv->open: BDB0091 DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch

error: db5 error(-30969) from dbenv->open: BDB0091 DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch

Next we look after BDB0091:
[root@moto lib]# strings /usr/lib/libdb-5.3.so | grep BDB0091

In this case our libdb-5.3 was already fine from our previous changes:

So we may now need to look at converting the RPM database on our system. First, let's back it up:
[root@moto lib]# cp -iRp /var/lib/rpm /var/lib/rpm-Aug.09.2013
[root@moto lib]# du -sm /var/lib/rpm
317 /var/lib/rpm
[root@moto lib]# diff /var/lib/rpm /var/lib/rpm-Aug.09.2013
[root@moto lib]#
Once that's done, run:
[root@moto F13toF18]# rpm –rebuilddb
[root@moto F13toF18]#
And for a change we get no errors from at least one command. Now we try a simple rpm command again:
