[Yum] Re: yum: list/update to multiple versions of a package

[Derrick Brashear]

Ok, well, you've definitely pushed me at the root cause here:
sqlite> select name, version, release, arch from packages where
name='kernel-devel';
kernel-devel|2.6.23.8|63.fc8|x86_64
kernel-devel|2.6.23.9|85.fc8|x86_64

I have no idea yet *why* the cache is out of date, but, that's the issue.
I'm not going to erase it until I figure out what's going on, but I at least
know I'm not going to be boned going forward (or reasonably believe it),
which is good. Thank you.

(Building software for 900ish kernels is big fun)
