I upgraded to 6.0.0-rc2 on Monday. This morning, when I tried to upgrade to 6.0 GA with "rpm -Uvh" it tells me the rc2 packages are newer than the GA packages (except for logstash). I guess I need to "rpm -e ; rpm -i" instead ...
Unfortunately "rpm -e ; rpm -i" removes the local user ids and then recreates them with different values. The new kibana user has the same uid as the old elasticsearch user ☹

This is a quirk with how rpm versions are compared, and part of the reason we put prerelease versions in a separate repository.

Odd that it didn't impact logstash, which was also being updated from rc2.
