            Status: NEW
         Component: perl
           Product: Fedora

Description of problem:
The version of perl as currently being shipped with 
Fedora-16 is NEVR-wise is greater than the version in Fedora-17:

updates/17/i386/perl-5.14.2-215.fc17.i686.rpm
updates/17/x86_64/perl-5.14.2-215.fc17.x86_64.rpm
updates/17/SRPMS/perl-5.14.2-215.fc17.src.rpm

updates/16/i386/perl-5.14.3-202.fc16.i686.rpm
updates/16/x86_64/perl-5.14.3-202.fc16.x86_64.rpm
updates/16/SRPMS/perl-5.14.3-202.fc16.src.rpm

This is not allowed in Fedora, because it breaks yum-updates and therefore is
prohibited by the FPG.

Expected results:
The versions of a package in Fedora(N+1) must be greater or equal to the
version in Fedora(N).
