Why would the admin of the un-named repo include two versions
unless one could be an update/bugfix? Did you try asking the
admin of that repo? For example here is bash from base and
update on CentOS 4
bash-3.0-19.7.i386.rpm 27-Jul-2008 03:30 1.7M
bash-3.0-19.7.el4_7.1.i386.rpm 20-Oct-2008 14:53 1.7M
