So this happened because somebody updated the Rawhide package, which disabled package inheritance from F18. I have now untagged the package in Rawhide again, and added a notice to the .spec file so that people don't go and blindly update the package in Rawhide, but instead just let inheritance between F18 and Rawhide do its work. Honestly, I think Fedora got the branches all backwards. Instead of carrying around master all the time we should just have the version branches and whenever somebody needs a new version branch he should just branch of the most recent one. Right now "master" is for many packages mostly dead territory between the time where a version got forked off (but is not yet released) and the time where people actually start working on the next distribution version.
