Hi Tim, This was caused by inconsistent naming between the RC and beta versioning for RPM packages. RPM sees `1.0.0_betaX` as a higher version than `1.0.0~rcX`, which is why it's not automatically triggering the upgrade. As a workaround, you can use the `downgrade` option over `install`, making the command:
``` sudo yum downgrade influxdb-1.0.0~rc1.x86_64.rpm ``` Or, if you are using the repository, just: ``` sudo yum downgrade influxdb ``` We won't be issuing new packages due to the original error (1.0.0_rc1 is considered higher in version than 1.0.0-1), however this issue will be resolved from here on out, so this is the only time this workaround will be needed. Sorry for the confusion! Let me know if you have any questions or run into any further issues.
