Description John Reiser 2002-08-25 22:34:27 UTC

Description of problem:
The version of parted in RHL 7.3 is parted-1.6.1-1.
In both limbo and null it is        parted-1.4.24-6
which looks like the version went backwards.
There is no comment about this in the RELEASE-NOTES file on CD-ROM disc1.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "rpm -qa | grep parted" on all systems.  
2. Or, mount CD-ROM disc1 (or .iso) and do "find  ... -name parted'*'"
3. Compare version number strings.
	

Actual Results:  RHL 7.3:
$ rpm -qa | grep parted
parted-devel-1.6.1-1
parted-boot-1.6.1-1
parted-1.6.1-1

limbo:
# mount limbo-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/tmp5 -o loop
# find /mnt/tmp5 -name parted'*'
/mnt/tmp5/RedHat/RPMS/parted-1.4.24-6.i386.rpm

null:
# mount  null-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/tmp5 -o loop
# find /mnt/tmp5 -name parted'*'
/mnt/tmp5/RedHat/RPMS/parted-1.4.24-6.i386.rpm


Expected Results:  Version should be non-decreasing: RHL 7.3 <= limbo <= null ,
or there should be an explanation in RELEASE-NOTES.

Umm, no it's not.  You've installed a newer parted package from somewhere else.

lftp ftp.redhat.com:/pub/redhat/linux/7.3/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS> ls parted-1*
-rw-r--r--    1 0        0          559738 Apr 17 04:47 parted-1.4.24-3.i386.rpm

Even more obvious is the fact that we've never shipped a parted-boot package.
