[Spacewalk-list] How to verify repo is "current"

I was troubleshooting a problem in Fedora 18.  I needed to install chronyd.

The response I got when asking for help:

What is that?



If you're using F18, why do you get: chrony-1.27-0.5.pre1.git1ca844.fc18.x86_64

When the F18 chrony is: chrony-1.29-1.fc18.x86_64

My Fedora 18 - x86_64 repo URL is:
ftp://mirror.cs.princeton.edu/pub/mirrors/fedora/linux/releases/18/Everything/x86_64/os/

When I enter Package Management via the http UI it displays both packages:
chrony-1.27-0.5.pre1.git1ca844.fc18.x86_64
chrony-1.29-1.fc18.x86_64

I suspect this is something I configured incorrectly in how my channels are setup.  Can someone please point me in the right direction?
