Dear Dirk, On top of this, the patch produces a version number that ends with a tilde, which is for dpkg a special character that sorts before the empty string. So we will always be safe with pre-releases: $ dpkg --compare-versions 2.13.2-1 lt 2.14.0~ && echo true true $ dpkg --compare-versions 2.14.0~ lt 2.14.0~20111015-1 && echo true true $ dpkg --compare-versions 2.14.0~ lt 2.14.0 && echo true true $ dpkg --compare-versions 2.14.0~ lt 2.14.0-1 && echo true true Have a nice day, -- Charles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
