Issue #2866 has been updated by John DeStefano.

If this truly has been fixed/closed in 2.7.0 (and I think it has), can the 
relevant documentation be updated?

Feature #2866: Yum package provider does not allow downgrade
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2866

Author: Grzegorz Nosek
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: package
Target version: 2.7.0
Affected Puppet version: development
Keywords: 
Branch: http://github.com/mmrobins/puppet/tree/ticket/2.6.x/2866


After installing (e.g. by hand) a version of a package later than specified in 
the "ensure" attribute the yum provider refuses to downgrade the package:

<pre>
change from 2.5.6-39.g120eba4 to 2.5.6-38.g01d82ad failed: Could not update: 
Failed to update to version 2.5.6-38.g01d82ad, got version 2.5.6-39.g120eba4 
instead
</pre>

Running "yum downgrade foo-2.5.6-38.g01d82ad" properly downgrades the package, 
but puppet always calls "yum install".
