Created attachment 492720 [details] screenshot showing installer declining to upgrade F15 with F14 Description of problem: When the F14 installer is used to install on an F15 system, the installer declines to upgrade, but gives a misleading message, saying "This is likely due to it being too old." In this case, F15 is too new, and the scenario here is essentially a downgrade. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F14-Final F15-Beta-Final How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do a clean, full-disk, minimal F15 install. 2. Start an F14 install. 3. Actual results: Attached screenshot. Expected results: Installer explains that it cannot downgrade a newer release to an older release. The installer explicitly reports the release of the installer, so the user can read both release numbers. Additional info:
