Version of libguestfs package is older in 5.1.1 repos than in 6.0 repos

[Andrey Sledzinskiy]

We have libguestfs version in 5.1.1 - libguestfs-tools-c-1.20.11-2.mira6.x86_64
and in 6.0 it's - libguestfs-tools-c-1.20.11-2.mira4.x86_64 - package version shouldn't be earlier in 6.0 than in 5.1.1

This probably caused failure of CentOS cluster deployment after upgrade with:
 Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y downgrade libguestfs-tools-c-1.20.11-2.mira4' returned 1: Error: Package: 1:libguestfs-tools-c-1.20.11-2.mira4.x86_64 (2014.2-6.0)

It is the same package.

'mira4' and 'mira6' are epochs which are added by build system.

Nope, it's not an epoch. The package version in RPM-based distro consists of "epoch:version-release". So, in our case:

libguestfs-tools-c-1.20.11-2.mira6

* epoch is absent, so it's 0 or something (we don't use epoch, and afaik puppet skips its comparison).
* 1.20.11 is version
* 2.mira6 is release

Well, the "release" part is taking part in version comparison so indeed we have a more "newer" version in 5.1.1 and a more "older" version in 6.0. That's completely unacceptable situation and it should be somehow resolved.

[Ihor Kalnytskyi (ikalnytskyi)]

BTW, the problem not only in "libgluster-tools-c" package. Actually, all related packages was upped in 5.1.1. Here's what I know:

* python-libguestfs
* libguestfs
* libguestfs-tools-c
