As an idea, do you reckon using the "Epoch" tag in the .spec files (upstream, or RHS downstream) would help to fix the problem? Daniel Veillard (CC'd) suggested it today in my team meeting when hearing of the problem. Apparently it's an old packager trick for dealing with issues like this. (not a very well liked trick, but it's there for a reason, etc.) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- GlusterFS - http://www.gluster.org An open source, distributed file system scaling to several petabytes, and handling thousands of clients.
