Fedora F13 to F14 upgrade leaves RPM database with strange mix of fc13 and fc14 packages

Investigating just a little more, using the tzdata package...

What I have installed:
* tzdata-2010n-1.fc13.noarch  (version 2010n)

What is on the Fedora 14 DVD:
* tzdata-2010k-1.fc14.noarch  (version 2010k)

and there don't appear to be any F14 updates for tzdata yet
(using yum list available).

So that explains why tzdata is still showing fc13 ... because it
actually is newer that the current fc14 package !!

A quick attempt to install using rpm -U verifies that the
install fails with an "installed version is newer" error.

So tzdata is explained .... now to look into the hundreds
of other packages...
