Is this ok [y/N]:

Please note: the version number listed in the rpm -qa is 2.3.0, but the
version number listed in the yum
update confirmation is 2.0.4.

I haven't even touched my yum repos.d directories since I added rpmforge
back in April.

So, if this is operator error, please enlighten me as to where so I can
operate better.

If by some staggering coincidence it is not operator error, please refrain
from making that instant assumption henceforth, mai oui?  Merci beaucoup.
