Description Michal Jaegermann 2007-11-16 03:27:11 UTC
Description of problem:

Fedora 8 comes with the following packages:

netpbm-10.35-17.fc8
netpbm-devel-10.35-17.fc8
netpbm-progs-10.35-17.fc8

but if one tries to update a current FC6 installation then
packages present are

netpbm-10.35.32-1.fc6
netpbm-devel-10.35.32-1.fc6
netpbm-progs-10.35.32-1.fc6

and the care coming up as "newer" (as an epoch obviously was
not bumped up).  To replace them with F8 packages one has to
use 'rpm --oldpackage -Uvh netpbm*f8*.rpm'.

One is left with "orphans" does not matter if an update was
run with a help of anaconda or with 'yum update'.

Comment 1 Michal Jaegermann 2007-11-16 03:27:54 UTC
Oh, I believe that updating from F7 gets into the same predicament.

Comment 2 Jindrich Novy 2007-11-16 13:22:57 UTC
Yes, the update to f8 was not yet pushed. It will be pushed shortly. Thanks for
noticing.
