20190305 - why is SDDM being downgraded?

English Install/Boot/Login

I see today that SDDM is being downgraded out-of-band from the update repo. I don’t see any clues on the Factory mailing list. What’s the problem? Not sure if I want to take the downgrade or not, if the problem doesn’t affect my system.

If a package is pushed ( no matter whether downgrade or update ) through the Update repo, there’s mainly 2 possible reasons:

  1. A fixed bug
  2. A fixed vulnerability

At the moment, I am not seeing “sddm” in the update repo. However, I do see a “downgrade” from 0.18.0-8.1 to 0.18.0-7.1 in the oss repo. This is a change since I upgraded to 20190305 last evening. It’s not usual for that to happen.
