package apt tags 573592 patch thanks Hi Jelmer Vernooij,

Thanks for your report! A fix for this issue plus a revamp of the testcase for version comparison can be found in my branch [0]. If someone has more ideas for "strange" version numbers we could compare, i am open for suggestions. Bonusfact: This part of the code was untouched since 2004 (and only a minor modification: add of 0-Epoch treatment). Hopefully libdpkg is faster in becoming a stable library than it is libapt, so this wild mixture of codecopy and rewrite we currently call "version comparison in apt" can be dropped in the future. :) Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen, David Kalnischkies [0] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~donkult/apt/sid/revision/1957 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
