I would have thought that fc9 meant an upgrade as well, but check for yourself. My original message has a copy/paste of both what it says is installed and of the exact name of the rpm file as downloaded from an updates repo. the yum package itself was the same way, differing only in one being fc8 and one being fc9, and it wouldnt upgrade either. I did a manual "rpm -Uvh yum-versionidontremember.fc9.rpm" after downloading from a repo. it went through and now rpm -qa lists the fc9 version of yum for me. > foo-1.0-2.fc8.i386 > foo-1.0-1.fc9.i386 > This isn't the case with my files (and definitely is not the case with the example of httpd-tools), unless there are just a handful of packages that are this way and I didn't notice fc9 being behind fc8. > ...here you cannot do anything after the fc8 version is installed to > make yum consider the fc9 version newer. > Eventually the allowdowngrade plugin will work again, and you could > do that ... or you can try force up/down grading whatever the problem > is using rpm.
