What were you upgrading from? The only place I see a 3.8.5-2 is in the old Hampton beta. Now then, where's my wet noodle? ;-) If you look in your upgrade.log, though, you'll probably see that a %pre or %post failed due to the changing environment that was going on. There's a reason we said beta 1 to beta 2 upgrades weren't supported.
... I plead youthful enthusiasm, and long service. <grin> RH 7.1 patched current -> Hampton B1 -> Hampton B2 But I filed against anaconda rather than LprNG -- it looks like an RPM transaction set generated by anaconda did not pick up and add the remove of the prior version. and that is a generic Upgrade failure, rather than H-B1 -> H-B2 related, is it not? A LprNG filing _would_ have have earned the noodle. <smile>
No, we always add packages with "u" to the transaction set which is upgrade. But if scriptlets fail, then you'll regularly get the double package install phenomena. And anaconda is especially where beta 1 -> beta 2 "upgrades" can't be supported :)
