hi,
rpm-math-mystery, i am astound =-O
i can follow the logic that 0.16.3-4.1 < ... < 0.17.7-2.fc8 and 0.17.7-2.fc8 < 8.0.0-1.fc8 and 0.17.7-2.fc8 < 1:0.17.7-3.fc8
but i can not follow the downgrade logic. is EPOCH the mystery? 8.0.2-1.fc8 < 1:0.17.7-3.fc8 is 0:8.0 < 1:0.17 ?
yes.
a package w/o an epoch or with a zero epoch is less than a package with an epoch of a greater value.
the above is exactly what epochs are for.
