Package dependency issue?

Hi all,

Over the past month, I've had someone else following a procedure I wrote for upgrading our opennms installation, and they were working through it to upgrade our system from 21.0.2 to 21.0.4.

Part way through the exercise, 21.0.5 was released.

This should not have been an issue, as my procedure runs:

yum update opennms-<TARGET VERSION>

which in the past has not been an issue, and yum correctly selects all the dependent packages with the same version number.

However, recently I rolled out opennms-plugin-protocol-cifs, and this time when the yum update to 21.0.4 was run, yum correctly selected the 21.0.4 version of all dependent packages except for the cifs plugin, which it picked the 21.0.5 version.  This then unexpectedly caused yum to then re-evaluate the dependencies and it installed OpenNMS 21.0.5 instead. (this was an issue because all the XML files we were deploying were built and tested on/for 21.0.4)

--> Finished Dependency Resolution

The server that this update ran on was our UAT server, so re-deploying it with 21.0.2 was not an issue, and an updated procedure that specifies the version for both opennms and the cifs plugin was able to correctly update the server to 21.0.4.

I'm just wondering if there is a package dependency issue here that caused the cifs plugin to incorrectly be upgraded to a later version than specified?
