From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529 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. Additional info:
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.
