[elrepo] Oops, updated to el7_7 on CentOS 7.6, can I revert to el7_6?

[Seth Goldin]

I'm confused because I ran:

yum downgrade elrepo-release.noarch


But when I run:

rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\t%{VENDOR}\n" | grep -i elrepo

I only see a few 7_6 packages installed, and I'm still seeing:

elrepo-release-7.0-4.el7.elrepo The ELRepo Project (http://elrepo.org)


Which doesn't give any indication between 7_6 vs 7_7, but `yum update` is
still showing a ton of updates for *both* 7_6 and 7_7.

Where am I going wrong here? Do I somehow need to uninstall 7_7? For some
reason it still seems stuck in the yum database.
