Description of problem: When a new system is installed in "http" mode, and both "Updates" and "Test Updates" have been added to the repository list, a mixture of old and new packages gets installed even breaking dependencies of some packages. A post install run of "yum" displays > 130 packages scheduled for update which hadn't been recognized by "yum" during install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.0-6 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install "FC6" over the network enabling updates and test updates. Actual results: After install, "yum" indicates that another > 130 packages remain to be updated. Expected results: All available updates get selected during the install procedure. Additional info: Dependencies do not get resolved correctly, as the attached "install.log" shows. For example, "cups-1.2.4-9" and "cups-libs-1.2.10-1" are installed on the system which is weird.
The same happens using the "F7T1" rescue disk. Changing mirrors also doesn't help, not even using "download.fedora.redhat.com".

This issue does definitely not occur for Fedora 9 (although F7 and F8 probably were not affected either).
