Dear fellows.
I would like to ask you for guidance what should be the best way to resolve the 
collision in versioning scheme introduced in the upstream nikto package.

I am trying to submit package update to the fedora
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575605

Versioning scheme for nikto was sofar: 2.01, 2.02, 2.03
The new nikto release version is 2.1.1 .
Version 2.1.1 is numerically lower than 2.03, which is currently present in the distribution.

Please could you give me some hints what is the best approach how to
deal with this verison scheme change?

Rename the package to something like nikto2 with new versioning scheme?
Is there some other way?

Thank you
Michal Ambroz
