yum

I've installed a package with Yum (Varnish 3.0.2). However, a feature I need has been removed so I need to roll back.

According to the documentation, the feature was removed in 3.0-Beta, so I wanted to revert to the latest version prior to that. (This is 2.1.5)

This is installed now, but there were three RPMs to install for it (from http://users.linpro.no/ingvar/varnish/2.1.5/2.1.5-1/el5/x86_64/).

After some faffing about with missing dependencies these got installed. However, the feature I need is still not there. I'm wondering if one of the dependencies is actually from a newer build.

Do you know how I can see the versions of all the dependencies of a Yum installed package?
