dnf upgrade to Fedora 35 using --downloaddir just wiped

So... went to do an upgrade to Fedora 35 and found that I
was lacking room for the downloads. I have /home set up
on a separate drive, so I did the following:
dnf system-upgrade download --downloaddir=/home
--releasever=35
The upgrade went well, except when I rebooted into F35 I
couldn't log into my home directory. So I rebooted and
logged into a console session. When I did, I got an error
message stating that /home/<me> was missing. ls /home
showed me that all my home directories are missing.
I'm guessing that dnf downloaded all the packages for the
upgrade to /home and then did a rm -rf * on them, taking
out my home directories in the process. Can someone
confirm this ?
Any chance I can recover the files ?
And yes - it's a bad program logic design in my view - I
remember 'rdiff-backup' which would 'recover' to a manually
given target path which it then would empty if there was
nothing to recover - so whatever was there in that 'target'
was lost.
So yes, file a bugzilla, I'd vote it up - if/when you do
mail it back here.
good luck, L.
