Bug 1169574

Description of problem:

If I download an update rpm from, say, koji and try to install using dnf, the package manager does not recognize the rpm as an update. Yum works fine.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.6.2-1.fc21

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download an update rpm from koji (for example)
2. Attempt package install using dnf install <package name>


Actual results:

root @ imladris Downloads# dnf install xfce4-power-manager-1.4.2-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm
Package xfce4-power-manager-1.4.1-3.fc21.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
Error: Nothing to do.

Complete!



Expected results:

dnf should update the installed package.

Additional info:

I noticed that if I use

dnf update <package_rpm_downloaded>

instead of 

dnf install <pacakge_rpm_downloaded>


dnf updates the package, as expected.




Q - Is this change in behavior from yum intentional?
