[Mageia-dev] protobuf package problem

[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Colin Guthrie at 20/05/11 11:22 did gyre and gimble:

What is even stranger is that the earliest date in subversion is April
26, but the package I have installed is from a month earlier:


Name        : lib64protobuf6               Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 2.3.0                             Vendor: Mageia.Org
Release     : 2.mga1                        Build Date: Mon 28 Mar 2011
14:17:59 BST
Install Date: Wed 30 Mar 2011 19:35:32 BST      Build Host: jonund
Group       : System/Libraries              Source RPM:
protobuf-2.3.0-2.mga1.src.rpm


Was the protobuf spec perhaps reimported without properly libification
and overwrote the old version?
