Is this normal?
Because when doing the offline upgrade, I didn’t see any packages to be downgraded.
This makes no scenes to me.
Why one needs to downgrade some things to upgrade the system :O.
Any comments/suggestions?

Don’t be confused with “15.2” shown in the URI.
They are contolled by the vaiable of $releasever.
Thanks.
