Description Matthias Saou 2006-08-02 11:57:01 UTC

Since the latest nfs-utils package in FC5 updates got an epoch of 1 set because
of the release field problems, the current package in FC development (to become
FC6) also needs its epoch to be set to 1 in order to preserve the upgrade path
from FC5 to FC6.

Comment 1 Steve Dickson 2006-08-02 12:11:19 UTC

Why, since the nfs-utils in FC6 will be version 1.0.9?

Comment 2 Matthias Saou 2006-08-02 12:18:51 UTC

Because a higher epoch always wins : 1:1.0.8 > 0:1.0.9

Comment 3 Matthias Saou 2006-08-03 13:36:54 UTC

Looks like Warren fixed this today. See the comment in bug #196359.

Don't forget to learn how rpm's E-V-R (epoch, version, release) comparison
works, as being careful could have avoided this problem entirely.
