Description of problem: When the "Only newest packages" filter is enabled, the packages list (after a "Find by name" for instance) still shows 2 different versions of a same package in some circumstances. 1) if the package is not installed: it works well (ie only the newest is presented) 2) if the package is already installed: it presents the installed package AND the previous version Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): This happens with PackageKit-0.6.6-2.fc13.i686 (gnome or k- packagekit): -gpk-application 2.30.3 -kpackagekit-0.6.1-1.fc13.i686 How reproducible: always Expected Results: I think that packagekit should NOT display the PREVIOUS version of a package if it is already installed in the latest version. It should display 2 versions of a package only if: 1) the package is installed 2) a newer version is available Additional info: This bug has been reported on KDE bugzilla: their answer is: "This is a bug of yum backend. Please report a bug against it." see: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251603

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Sorry, the bug is not closed, although something has change: Before (fedora 13, comment #1) => "Only newest packages" had no effect: older and newer version were always shown Now (fedora 15 ; yum-3.2.29-6) => "Only newest packages" still has no effect, but now the older versions are never shown ! Example: I search for firefox. The only result I get is: firefox 4.0.1-2 (installed ; from the Fedora Updates repository) ; but NOT firefox 4.0.1-1 (in the Fedora repository ; wich is of course enabled) Conclusion: the "Only newest packages" filter still has no effect. Tested with gnome-packagekit, kpackagekit. Rem: "yum list firefox" only shows firefox 4.0.1-2 (and not 4.0.1-1): I don't know if it is the expected behavior.
Is this fixed on F16? It seems to work for me.
Well, it's not (although, as said in comment #3, it's different from comment #1). The option "Only newest packages", if not activated, seems to have no effect on already installed package. You can see it in the example below: - case 1) = I search for a package which is not installed => 2 results (=2 different versions) are found - case 2) = I search for the same package which is now installed => the search results don't display the older package anymore ----------------------------- case 1) "libmtp" package is NOT installed a) $ pkcon search name libmtp --filter=newest (...)
