I should explain that I'm running a local build of mythtv master that is

seems fine in other respects.

You could increase the rpm Epoch of your local mythtv build, so it is
seen as newer by yum.
If you already have an Epoch set in your spec simply increase that. If
you have not, set an epoch, add a line
"Epoch: 1"
(or what ever, I think even 0 is seen as higher as no epoch at all)
where you set the version.
And keep in mind that any sub-package-requirements now also have to be
changed to
"%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}"
  instead of
"%{version}-%{release}"

OK, thanks for that suggestion.  ISTR 'epoch' being mentioned as a possibility before, but I hadn't experimented.  You have given more details and I'll look at trying it for the next build.

That could fix my specific 'feature', but won't fix dnfdragora.  I'll give it a bit longer, but then maybe a BZ?

Same thing in Fedora 27 with dnfdragora . Doesn't matter what you select for repositories, always shows the same updates available. Even when running as root.


As an update: dnfdragora still does this (and had BZs aplenty when I looked), but software-updates and/or yumex-dnf seem ok for me.

I've now built mythtv-master for both el7 and fc26 with an 'Epoch' and don't see the pseudo-downgrades any more. The first attempt failed with two conflicts, apparently resolved by expanding plain "%{version}"s for a theme package as well. Thanks.
