I will attach the primary.xml.gz file to this mail (it's 4.7K). See also: $ zgrep "version epoch" primary.xml.gz <version epoch="0" ver="5.0.16_105871_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="4.3.22_98236_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="5.0.0_101573_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="4.3.34_104062_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="5.0.14_105127_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="4.3.28_100309_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="4.3.24_98716_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="5.0.10_104061_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="4.3.32_103443_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="5.0.6_103037_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="4.3.26_98988_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="5.0.2_102096_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="5.0.12_104815_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="5.0.18_106667_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="4.3.36_105129_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="5.0.8_103449_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="4.3.30_101610_el7" rel="1"/> <version epoch="0" ver="5.0.4_102546_el7" rel="1"/> so 5.0.18 is there but comes quite late.
