The root of the problem was some stale tags in Koji (old builds with
-pending tags still on them).

AutoQA pulls in anything with *-pending tags from koji and runs tests on
them. When older packages were pulled into the upgradepath test, they
were compared against newer builds and the test would fail because you
can't "upgrade" to a previous version.

Two bugs were found in Bodhi's tag handling logic and we're hoping for
fixes in the next day or so. Once those fixes are in and we've verified
that the tests are pulling in packages correctly, we'll re-enable
AutoQA's Bodhi comments with less spam and more testing awesomeness.

To help prevent problems like this from happening in the future, the
AutoQA team is already working on a better staging/testing process
before pushing out to production. We should have that in place before
the next major release of AutoQA.

Kudos are due to lmacken, caillon and jkeating for their help in
reporting, triaging and fixing this issue.

Thanks for your patience,

Tim
