Ok, what does yum check? It is comparing that mod_ssl.1:2.0.54-10 is
greater than mod_ssl.2.1.6-1 ?
Is this a bug? a feature?
jesse got it in one:
mod_ssl in your repo has an epoch of 1 - the one installed does not have
an epoch (hence no #: preceeding the ver-rel).
Think of no epoch as 0
so 1:2.0.54-10 > 0:2.1.6-1
