As a comparison...  i did a full update to rawhide last night...and i
just reverted to an older
s-c-printer package  and used yum to install the newer again.  I know
the packages and headers for s-c-printer are cached via visual
inspection of the cache directories.
/var/cache/yum/development/packages/system-config-printer-0.6.112-1.i386.rpm
/var/cache/yum/development/headers/system-config-printer-0.6.112-1.i386.hdr

yum did not redownload the s-c-printer header nor the s-c-printer
package, so from where I'm sitting, things look like they are working
correctly from the cache to me.

time asking for people to run d5 or d6"spaleta
