This guess is exactly correct. 2.9.1-5 is identical to 2.9.1-4.el8_3.1, which is the only reason we felt it was appropriate to drop the former build entirely. If/when this package is updated again in the 8 lifecycle, I expect the release will be at least -6, providing the correct upgrade path regardless of which release a user currently has installed. > > > 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?
