But what would I force it to? 6.27.1-1 isn't what the package reports
internally, so if I force that it'll find it via yum but then complain
on every run that the installed version is older than it should be,
then fail when the yum upgrade says it's already installed. 6.27.0
doesn't exist, so if I manually install 6.27.1-1 everywhere it will
complain that the installed version is newer than the forced one and
it can't find the old one to downgrade to. So far I've just kept it
at 6.26.0 until they reach parity, I don't see any other way to
continue to use the puppet_agent module and do otherwise.
Based on the comments on the bug now that weren't there last week, I'm
guessing I'm not alone in this confusion, and staying at 6.26.0 until
the assumed 6.27.2 comes out is probably for the best.
