yum question

[Brian Millett]

I'm testing apache 2.1.6-beta.  I've created and updated the rpms for
it.  When I use yum to check for updates, it wants to update mod_ssl,
but it shouldn't (I don't think).  Here is a trace:

[bpm]$ sudo yum list avail httpd mod_ssl

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?

Thanks.
