There was no earlier version in my yum log.  I've searched koji, and there's 
only one F13 version.  The log definitely shows it installed today, so what 
was used for the same job before is anybody's guess.  In the morning I'll 
check the install DVD - see if it's there.  Maybe it used an F12 one before 
today.

I'll leave the laptop on overnight, and try again in the morning.
