Description of problem: Last friday I upgraded a fully updates FC4 box to FC5. The upgrade was flawless. While looking for leftover FC4 packages, I came across: [afgani@cpc155 ~]$ rpm -qa --qf %-30{NAME}' '%{DISTRIBUTION}'\n' | grep "(FC-4)"$ logwatch Red Hat (FC-4) tzdata Red Hat (FC-4) and a few others (kernel_FC4, hal.fc4, gnome-kerberos, system-config-mouse) which were easily removed. Comparing version numbers: [afgani@cpc155 ~]$ sudo yum list tzdata logwatch Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories core [1/3] core 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates [2/3] updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras [3/3] extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Installed Packages logwatch.noarch 7.2.1-1.fc4 installed tzdata.noarch 2006b-2.fc4 installed Available Packages logwatch.noarch 7.1-8 core tzdata.noarch 2006b-1 core it seems that fc4 contains updated packages while fc5 does not. These updates were released on March 22nd but the fc5 packages are dated March 6th. I searched the updates and testing branches of fc5 but it looks like updates to those packages are not even in testing yet. I then looked through the development branch and saw a 7.3 version of logwatch; but the version of tzdata was still 2006b-1 (i.e. even older than the fc4 update) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2006b-2.fc4 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start with fully updated FC4 2. yum update to FC5 3. FC4 tzdata remains since it is newer Actual results: tzdata left behind from FC4 due to higher version # Expected results: fc5 version has higher version # Additional info: 'logwatch' has the same problem (fc5 version lower than fc4 update)
tzdata 2006c just came out, so I'm pushing fresh package for both fc4 and fc5. I'm adding the logwatch owner (hi, Ivana!) to CCs, so that she notices the problem.
Thanks for the notice. The logwatch part of this problem is fixed now (fc5 version was upgraded - see bug 187778).
