By pure fluke I ran "dnf check-update --refresh" not as root and got:

RuntimeError: C++ std::exception: Failed to open backup database: /var/lib/dnf/history/history-2015-04-01.sqlite

Surprising in that I have run this command not as root before and it didn't
fail, but the file was owned root:root on 0600 so the failure is not a
surprise. The file being in /var I took the view that it is ephemeral and so
deleted it.

Now as root I get proper behaviour, and indeed as not root I get proper
behaviour.

I am now  upgrading all my Fedora Rawhide machines.
