Hi;

Just wondering.  I only have Fedora Core and Extras repositories in my
yum (including develop etc repos).  fedora-package-announce has sent me
about 5 announcements about upgrades while yum actually upgraded 11
packages.  Shouldn't the numbers match?

The announcements relate to the update of a source package, which, when built, may produce multiple subpackages.

For instance, the hplip announcement yesterday covered hplip, hpijs, and libsane-hpaio, which are all built at the same time from the same source package. So it's expected that there would be more packages than announcements.
