Description of problem: While repairing a slightly corrupted /usr/share, I had to do a 'yum install fedora-release-notes'. What I actually got was: % rpm -qi fedora-release-notes Name : fedora-release-notes Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 8.92 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 2 Build Date: Mon 22 Sep 2008 03:43:42 PM EDT Install Date: Thu 02 Oct 2008 04:44:05 PM EDT Build Host: ppc2.fedora.redhat.com Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: fedora-release-notes-8.92-2.src.rpm Size : 14289838 License: Open Publication Signature : (none) Packager : Fedora Project URL : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats Summary : Release Notes for Fedora 8.92 Description : These are the official Release Notes for Fedora 8, I checked several Rawhide mirror sites to rule out our local mirror being broken - the first 5 I checked all had 8.92 rather than a current version. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora-release-notes-8.92-2.noarch How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This happens during the brief period between Beta and the Preview Release, when documentation produces a preview of the true F10 Release Notes. Because of an artifact of the versioning of the tarball archives we create, we can't produce a 9.92 version until there are truly 9.92 tarballs available. That should happen in a few weeks. Until then, what looks like a version regression can simply be ignored.
Oh, OK.. long as it's a known issue. :) What really threw me was that the Description: part of the RPM said 'for Fedora 8' rather than either 9 or 10...
