Some of these packages haven't been updated on F-9 because they have
been failing to build due to (typically) lingering GCC 4.3 build
issues and/or xulrunner issues.  The reason for the upgrade check
issue was that in some cases updates were pushed to F-8 even if the
rawhide branch didn't build.

This is especially the case with the usual firefox update push in F-7,
F-8, those packages haven't been also rebuilt on rawhide at the same
to keep NEVR sane (in many cases this was because they don't currently
rebuild, as noted below).

To avoid the filing of duplicate bugs (perhaps add a comment to these
bugs about the additional NEVR problems).  I'm posting the bug here
for the packages that I either maintain, or have attempted to help
fix:

JB> blam: F8-updates > F9 (0:1.8.3-14.fc8 > 0:1.8.3-13.fc9)

[blam failed massrebuild attempt for GCC 4.3]
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434382

Update was pushed to F-8 before I became maintainer.

JB> gtkmozembedmm: F8-updates > F9 (0:1.4.2.cvs20060817-19.fc8 >
JB> 0:1.4.2.cvs20060817-17.fc9)

[gtkmozembedmm failed massrebuild attempt for GCC 4.3]
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434130

JB> kazehakase: F8-updates > F9 (0:0.5.4-1.fc8 > 0:0.5.0-1.fc9.2)

[Kazehakase won't run against xulrunner (gecko-libs 1.9)]
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402641

Not sure if this is entirely the reason a newer version hasn't been
pushed for F-9, but in general packages that depend on xulrunner have
been having periodic problems rebuilding.

JB> liferea: F8-updates > F9 (0:1.4.13-2.fc8 > 0:1.4.13-1.fc9)

Just rebuilt: liferea-1.4.13-2.fc9 which should be > F8-updates now:

JB> vtk: F8-updates > F9 (0:5.0.4-19.fc8 > 0:5.0.3-22.fc9)

[vtk failed massrebuild attempt for GCC 4.3]
