Last week I pushed a yum update to f12, f13 and f14 - same pkg, same
patches, same config.

On f12, however, the version of sqlite that f12 had handles an error
condition differently than on f13 and f14. It meant that instead of
raise an exception and letting us move along that it raised an exception
and then exited.

So - the pkg checked out on f13 and f14 just fine but not on f12.

I had to issue a new update for all of them to keep them in sync.

That's a real world case that happens all the time.
