Public bug reported:

RHEL6 has a yum history feature where you can list all the transactions.
Further you can use them for any undo operations

yum history undo <id>

I  have been playing with this for a while and seems like there is a
problem with undo and IUS repos

If I install a package fresh from and then do a undo it works. This is
likely because in this case I am removing packages.

However if I update a package and try to use undo to revert to the old
version it fails. Here's what I tried with php


[root@zeus ~]# yum history undo 34
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, tsflags
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

 * epel: mirror01.th.ifl.net
 * extras: mirror01.th.ifl.net

Undo works fine with downgrades of packages from  Red Hat packages and EPEL
It is likely because the IUS repos don't have previous versions in the main repo.
Given that undo is a nice feature , are there any plans for doing this ?
Note, I have not tried other options and so there might be a way to do this in a different way.


OS  Version : Red Hat 6.2
IUS : ius-release-1.0-8.ius.el6.noarch


Thanks,
