Description of problem: The version of perl as currently being shipped with Fedora-16 is NEVR-wise is greater than the version in Fedora-17: updates/17/i386/perl-5.14.2-215.fc17.i686.rpm updates/17/x86_64/perl-5.14.2-215.fc17.x86_64.rpm updates/17/SRPMS/perl-5.14.2-215.fc17.src.rpm updates/16/i386/perl-5.14.3-202.fc16.i686.rpm updates/16/x86_64/perl-5.14.3-202.fc16.x86_64.rpm updates/16/SRPMS/perl-5.14.3-202.fc16.src.rpm This is not allowed in Fedora, because it breaks yum-updates and therefore is prohibited by the FPG. Expected results: The versions of a package in Fedora(N+1) must be greater or equal to the version in Fedora(N).
Should be fixed with the next F-17 updates push to stable: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-16429/perl-5.14.3-217.fc17

Urgh, cut'n'pasto, of course I meant perl-5.14.3-202 ..., sorry.
There was an f17 build, perl-5.14.3-216 submitted at the same time as the f16 build, but that one was obsoleted by perl-5.14.3-217 the following day, which explains why the f16 build popped out of the QA queue a day earlier. Not sure why f17 needed a new build and f16 didn't, or why the f16 build was submitted for stable whilst the f17 build was still going through QA.
