Its strange. Which version of dylan are u using? Is there any possiblity
that you set PR somewhere in any conf files, say bitbake.conf/local.conf?
I am using dylan-9.0.1 and am not getting r5. or you have 2 versions of
util-linux bb files?

This is what I get,
Waiting for 1 running tasks to finish:
0: util-linux-2.22.2-r3 do_fetch (pid 7296)

Not really..no..! PV comes from bb name as in util-linux_2.22.2.bb, so it
is 2.22.2. For PR, Unless you set that variable yourself somewhere, bitbake
will not try to replace it. So please grep/check for PR in your dylan dir,
anywhere you set it.

PR not used in SRC_URI only PV for fetching the correct package version.
