And no /bin/sh either? It is provided by "bash".

(Sounds more like a subject for "test" list.)

Since this unresolved dependency is not listed in the daily rawhide report:

Can you dig further and find out why you don't have anything that provides
/bin/sh? How to do that? Prior to the upgrade attempt, query your local RPM
database *and* also use repoquery. Then ask repoquery with the rawhide repo
enabled. What do you get? Where did "bash" go?
