Hi Henrique,

I think I got it right now, but since we failed an attempt already, and the
code around this is so tricky, I'd appreciate if you could test this first:

CompareVersions()
{
        local a=`echo $1 | sed -e 
"s,.*/vmlinu[zx]-,,g;s/[._-]\(pre\|rc\|test\|git\)/~\1/g"`
        local b=`echo $2 | sed -e 
"s,.*/vmlinu[zx]-,,g;s/[._-]\(pre\|rc\|test\|git\)/~\1/g"`
        if [ "$a" = "$b" ] ; then
                echo 0
        elif dpkg --compare-versions "$a" lt "$b" ; then
                echo 1
        else
                echo -1
        fi
}

(former code didn't adjust well to the api of this function, so it needed a
bit of adjustment)

thanks!
