Description Ralf Corsepius 2012-11-08 17:05:58 UTC
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:

Well, how could if have happened perl-5.14.2-215 was pushed to F16?

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.
