	I'm not sure what you mean about mismatched versions.  Those are
the latest versions of oracleasm-support and oracleasmlib.  Do you mean
that you expect the version numbers of oracleasm-support (2.1.3),
oraceasmlib (2.0.4) and oracleasm (2.0.5) to be identical?  They are
not.  Each changes version as updates require it.
