I sent the email because, I again, forgot and run $ sudo yum update and gone to another terminal, a bit later I learned that yum thought all updates would be duplicates, so I did $ sudo rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* $ sudo dn update sent the email, and now, update to latest rawhide has already finished...
