do you mean the bug is in the version comparison, or in showing the info for the older version?
Version comparison.
"dpkg --compare-versions 0.20105 gt 0.55" returns true, because version numbers are generally not compared as though they were true decimal numbers.
Okay, I guess that means numbers between decimal points are treated as whole numbers. No doubt this is to handle versions such as 0.9 and 0.10, where 0.10 is a more recent release than 0.9. (This actually happened with FireFox, just before it hit 1.0.)
I suppose this is not a Fink bug but rather a clash in version conventions. Perhaps the graph-pm package should have been versioned as 0.2.1.5 and 0.5.5?
