Well, if you see the reason behind this thing: long long time ago we had this thing called staging and testing, where we uploaded versions as bind-9.4.1-1t1, which is the test version of bind-9.4.1-1. This logic also works for rc/beta packages: gcc-4.2.1rc1-1 will be lower versioned than gcc-4.2.1-1. There's logic behind it, so it's not a bug ;). Only thing I didn't know was the underscore that is taken into account also, but I didn't read any documentation lately. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list arch@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
