Looks like dist tag is not considered in version computation. 21.1 is higher than 16.1 but el7 is considered higher than el7_2. Just to be sure, please try yum clean metadata, and then yum distro-sync.

I can confirm this behavior here.  In fact, it looks like we've missed two updates; el7_2.16.1 was released the day after el7.16.1 was, and that one didn't update my install, either.  In checking, it appears that both have an epoch of 10.

A yum distro-sync does not offer to reinstall qemu-$subpackage-ev for me, even after yum clean metadata or yum clean all.




karanbir any chance we can get the offending package removed from the repository? So at least rpm -Uvh --force to the newer release will work and yum won't try to downgrade it.
