Description Josh Reynolds 2013-02-05 06:15:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
There are newer packages on older

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F18 upgraded from F17

How reproducible:
Always until package updates are pushed

Steps to Reproduce:
1. After upgrading a fully updated F17 to F18 run "yum distribution-synchronization --disablepresto"
2. View list of mismatched packages to downgrade
3.
  
Actual results:
A list of mismatched packages are shown that need to downgrade

Expected results:
No official Fedora packages (i.e. from normal sources) are needed to be downgraded. Another way to say this is that I would expect that at the time a newer version of a package is pushed out to one that all releases except end of life & testing would get the updated versions at the same time.

Oops. Hit [Enter] too early & can't edit what I submitted so here's what I meant to say:

How reproducible:
Always until package updates are pushed

Steps to Reproduce:
1. After upgrading a fully updated F17 to F18 run "yum distribution-synchronization --disablepresto" (has & does happens with other releases)
  
Actual results:
A list of mismatched packages are shown that need to downgrade (see attachment for mine)

No official Fedora packages (i.e. from normal sources) are listed to be downgraded. Another way to say this is that I would expect that at the time a newer version of a package is pushed out to one that all releases (except end of life & testing) would get the updated versions at the same time.

Misc. info:
I'll file separate bugs for each mismatched package later.
This same thing happened last release (Bug 822708).
There is a discussion on how to handle when this happens with FedUp (bug 892061).
This may need input from Release Engineering as well I suppose.
Comment 3 Susi Lehtola 2013-02-05 09:35:02 UTC 
Please file separate bugs for every package that's on the list.
