           Summary: package in EPEL has bogus version
           Product: Fedora EPEL
           Version: el6
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: unspecified
          Priority: unspecified
         Component: perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel
        AssignedTo: steve at silug.org
        ReportedBy: ihok at hotmail.com

    Classification: Fedora
      Story Points: ---
              Type: ---


Description of problem:

EPEL (and Fedora) have this package:

perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.4900-3.el6

The version number here is bogus - it should be 0.49, not 0.4900. This bogus
number is thus greater than the actual latest released code, 0.59, and a RPM
containing more recent code (e.g., from RPMforge) requires a "yum downgrade"
for what is actually an upgrade.

While fixing, please consider updating to 0.59.
