Description of problem: The yum in RHEL-5 (not 100% sure about RHEL-6) just takes the epoch values as given, so: <package arch="x86_64" epoch="None" name="sslscan" release="3.el5" src=" http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/5/x86_64/sslscan-1.8. 2-3.el5.x86_64.rpm" version="1.8.2"> ...only matches to packages which have epoch="None" (or higher). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Current repodata.
This issue should be resolved with the latest version of bodhi in production (v0.8.0).
Actually, I still see epoch="None" in the current updateinfo, which could be due to old cached metadata. I just cleaned it out, so I'm going to re-open this ticket until I can confirm that they are gone.
This issue has been resolved.
