So that's an upgrade, right? But yum distro-sync disagrees: ... Downgrading: iwl5000-firmware noarch 8.83.5.1-39.fc22.1 rawhide 293 k ...
Which is right, yum or rpmdev-vercmp? (This is yum-3.4.3-153.fc22.noarch and rpmdevtools-8.4-3.fc21.noarch, by the way.)
$ rpmdev-vercmp 8.83.5.1_1-38.fc21.1 8.83.5.1-39.fc22.1 8.83.5.1_1-38.fc21.1 > 8.83.5.1-39.fc22.1
rpmdev-vercmp takes EVR input, not NEVR.
