What I see on the main Redhat server is following: http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.updates/tcl-8.3.5-96.1.i386.rpm So that is the updates directory for FC1 with the new package version -96. You say that package is buggy? There is no old tcl/tk package in updates. -93 is the original version. Went to http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/ and there is the same situation. I am feeling really puzzled by your posting. What are you speaking about? When update packages come out, the old packages are not deleted. They stay in the repository with the packages of the Fedora which was originally shipped. The installer tools like yum, up2date and apt - but mainly it is rpm itself - are recognizing that there is a new package by the higher version number (and/or epoch) and choose the update package. > Is this worth a bugzilla, or will it go away if the mirrors start from > "scratch" somehow when they sync up? Of course it is a bugzilla if you can judge that the new bugfixing tcl/tk packages version 8.3.5-96 do bad things / are buggy themselves. Can you explain your critics in short form? You say the yesterday announced update packages "Fedora Core 1 Update: tcltk-8.3.5-96.0.1" are no real good updates but itself broken?
