No, the aforementioned problem only applies to pre/alpha/beta versions. Since e.g. 1.0pre1 > 1.0 , one needs to use 1.0-0.pre1.1mdk to distinguish the _pre_ status. However, in the above cases, it's patch level, not pre. So we have: openssh: 3.1 < 3.1p1 openssl: 0.9.6 < 0.9.6a < 0.9.6b < 0.9.6c .... libhdf5: 1.4.2 < 1.4.2p1 Abel -- Abel Cheung GPG Key: (0xC67186FF) http://deaddog.org/gpg.asc
