You can always remove and reinstall the RPM using DNF, am I missing something? -Adam

Speak of the devil... continuing through my email:
From: updates@fedoraproject.org Subject: Fedora 38 Update: firefox-123.0.1-1.fc38 Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2024 01:23:46 +0000 (UTC) Name : firefox Product : Fedora 38 Version : 123.0.1 Release : 1.fc38
So maybe this was a doh! release and they're already pushing out a quick fix? But ... uh... 123.0.1?
#rpm -qi firefox Name : firefox Version : 123.0 Release : 2.fc38 Install Date: Sun Mar 3 18:41:11 2024 Source RPM : firefox-123.0-2.fc38.src.rpm
Huh?? If 123.0.1 was just released, what the heck am I doing with a 123.0.2? I'm starting to smell a package maintainer mixup, someone pushing out a beta by accident?
Luckily I still have the release notice for 123.0.2:
From: updates@fedoraproject.org Subject: Fedora 38 Update: firefox-123.0-2.fc38 Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2024 01:40:45 +0000 (UTC) Name : firefox Product : Fedora 38 Version : 123.0 Release : 2.fc38
I may now be in a situation where dnf will not update the rpm! It usually will ignore older rpm files (by version). Ugh, there might be some manual dnf/rpm finagling coming my way.
Now I just have to wait a few hours until the latest rpm hits my mirrors...
