Topic: ProFTPD update for 6b3

[Mark Thomas]

When I try and update the newest rpms for the ProFTPD package I get the following error. The other two rpm's installed fine. Before I submit this as a bug I want to make sure it's not me.

# rpm -Uvh perl-CGI-3.00-2.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
package perl-CGI-2.91-4 (which is newer than perl-CGI-3.00-2) is already installed


Thanks

It's a bug, but it's been addressed. There's nothing wrong with the contents of the new package, but we introduced an Epoch tag in the previous versions to work around some perl-CGI versioning strangeness. When 3.0.0-2 was rolled, we missed that step. You can either install with the --oldpackage argument, or wait for the mirrors to pick up 3.0.0-3.
