Just an default 100GiB + /boot + encrypted  Test partition
( 200GiB total ca 100 GIB not in use ).

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                       95G   86G  4.3G  96% /
/dev/sda1             193M   23M  161M  13% /boot
tmpfs                 2.0G  144K  2.0G   1% /dev/shm

This is also an x86_64bit and fully updated FC9-Rawhide ( manually chose 
the rawhide repo to see how it would react )....
So correct me if I'm wrong but should it not detect I'm running already 
at a fully updated
rawhide installation and stop there with an msg saying something like 
system fully updated nothing to do?

Best regards.
