Sorry, I should have been clearer. glibc-2.11.90.14 is showing in Bodhi
as being Status: obsolete. Bodhi shows that version was pushed to
testing, and it was installed on my system when I installed F-13 on 1st
March. That version appears is now no longer in updates-testing, and the
current version is the earlier version, glibc-2.11.90-12. So far as I
can see, there is no automatic mechanism to become aware of when a
package has been in updates-testing and has subsequently been removed
(?due to obsoleting in Bodhi), and the package needs reverting to an
earlier version.

I can't see any reference to gtksourceview2-2.9.7-1.fc13 in Bodhi, but
it was installed on my F-13 system on 1st March. The current version for
F-13 seems to be 2.9.5-1, but I cannot see anything that says
gtksourceview2 as been removed.
