The error message is slightly inaccurate. The simple fact is that the
version of the client that is running and trying to talk to the server
(not necessarily the version that is Installed) has a capability level
that tells us that it is a version with a serious bug. The "Client is
newer than server" message is the only message of that type available in
the bugged client. Changing the setting on the server prevented the
bugged clients from connecting, but resulted in the confusing message
you are seeing.

After updating the packages, you'll need to re-start the client
manually. The simplest way to do this right now is to re-log or re-boot
your machine. We have a bug report in place regarding the package
upgrade, and hope to enhance the process so that the client restarts
itself upon upgrade soon.
