We use RPMS for our packaging and yum to update our environments. We have an rpm pacakge-5.1.1-3 installed in our production server and in our yum repository we have 2 higher versions of RPMS like package-5.1.3-3 and package-5.2-27.
we tried to install 5.1.3-1 version but it installed 5.2-27. It caused serious problems in production.

If we remove 5.2-27 package from YUM rpm repository and try installing 5.1.3-1, its installing as expected.

I think yum should allow installation of specific version of RPMS and I remember doing this few times. I tried to debug but no success.
