That looks like it wants to downgrade several packages:

apr-util
apr-util-devel
apr-util-ldap
info
orc
perl-Net-DNS-SEC
texinfo
texinfo-tex
tzdata
tzdata-java
xorg-x11-drv-wacom

Looking at a couple, such as texinfo, it does indeed appear as if the version
available in Fedora 14 is OLDER than the version in Fedora 13 (up to the
current patch/update level).

I've not actually done the distribution-synchronization yet as I'm not
sure I want to downgrade anything yet.


As far as some of the other fc13 packages, well, exploring the Fedora 14
DVD, it looks like it contains many fc13 packages.  Perhaps they just
didn't change?

On the DVD (Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso) in the Packages directory,
listing the *.rpm files,

   ls -1 Packages/*.fc11.* | wc -l    ==> 1
   ls -1 Packages/*.fc12.* | wc -l    ==> 407
   ls -1 Packages/*.fc13.* | wc -l    ==> 283
   ls -1 Packages/*.fc14.* | wc -l    ==> 2056

So I guess that's the answer to the mystery. The F14 disc seems to
have packages from past releases.  I didn't expect that.
