No. As a side note to this question it's is a dubious practice to
upgrade from rawhide because it is neither stable nor consistent. Unless
you have a very specific reason to pull a package from rawhide I
wouldn't. It's better to get updates from the update repository. In
theory released updates are stable and consistent with the rest of the
release. I recognize many people do pull updates from rawhide and there
are valid arguments for this practice, but it comes with a price you
must be willing to pay, it is not for the faint of heart :-) YMMV and
all the usual caveats.
