However, it only fixed a CVE and that CVE was already fixed by the freetype-2.9.1-4.el8_3.1 that as shipped as part of a batch update. There was no reason to ship a build that didn't do anything, so it was dropped on the RHEL side. My educated guess is that Stream 8 picked up the -5.el8 build during the course of RHEL 8.4 development as expected, and then when it was dropped on the RHEL side it used the -4.el8_3.1 update because that is indeed the latest available even today. This is one of the unintended consequences of how Stream 8 is produced. > The mirror > http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/ > shows freetype-2.9.1-4.el8_3.1.x86_64 has the latest. > > I wonder where this version 2.9.1-5 is coming from?

Not retired, just a build that will never be shipped at this point. josh
