Yes, they can, but in practice It seldom happens except for packages like the kernel. > Maybe I've got it wrong? > > Two examples - are onboard and sunbird.

There may be a variety of reasons: * The -1 is for some unrelated behavior thats not really a bug or regression. * The regression is less severe than the reason for the update. (ie, security update for a remote exploit that disables some little used functionality). * The -1 is for something that never worked, nor was expected to be addressed by the update (the kernel updates see this all the time, ie, "my foobar hardware didn't work before, and it still doesn't") * Bodhi is going to soon be wiping out karma when builds are removed or added, but it doesn't currently, so you might see -1 votes from an old update. If there's some maintainer that is ignoring feedback and pushing things they shouldn't be, please bring the matter to fesco's attention. kevin
