So, we upgraded hosts from Dell image of 5.5.0 to 5.5.0U1 using Update manager to remediate. After upgrade, it shows non-compliant. Another host which had ESXi installed from scratch with the same ISO image (Not through update manger) shows compliant. When I compare the VIB versions of the two hosts, I see the following differences.

What can cause this? What's the difference between upgrading vs install from scratch? Is this expected behavior?
