Hello,
I have a few packages where the latest updated version in 5.0 is greater
than the current 5.1 version.
Here is the list: package, installed version (from 5.0 updates),
available (in 5.1)
flac
1.1.2-28.el5_0.1
1.1.2-27
flac-devel
1.1.2-28.el5_0.1
1.1.2-27
hpijs
1.6.7-4.1.el5.3
1.6.7-4.1
libsane-hpaio
1.6.7-4.1.el5.3
1.6.7-4.1
thunderbird
1.5.0.12-5.el5.centos
1.5.0.12-3.el5.centos
I use mirrors.ircam.fr, and apt+synaptic but I don't think that's the
reason (except perhaps for the hp stuff?)
Is something wrong on my side? If not, should I downgrade those packages
to the 5.1 versions?
Thanks in advance
BTW ... it is quite normal for a release to have some packages on the
ISO that are older than those that are released in updates.
They finalize the ISO based on the beta and if pressing security updates
happen close to release time, they do not roll those in and respin the ISOs.
We are now trying to mimic as closely as possible the ISO package set,
so that our 5.0 or 5.1 or 4.6 is the same as upstream for user
convenience ... but there will be released packages that are newer than
those on the ISO because of this.
However, the updates directory for 5.1 should also have all the same
files. so you should not need to downgrade anything.
fine, that all makes sense
I just thought something might be wrong because 5.1 had been out 4 or 5
days, so I didn't expect that there would still be transitory
post-release problems like this
I guess I wasn't patient enough, I'll try again in a few days (BTW these
packages are not yet on any of the mirrors I've tried tonight)
