Foo will be upgraded to 1.1. The 0.9 version is not considered because it is a downgrade and not does not have a priority above 1000. Downgrades are not supported, so they are pruned rather early in apt(itude) processing. If the 0.9 version had a priority of 1001, Foo would be downgraded to 0.9. If the 1.1 version had a priority of less than 100, Foo would remain at version 1.0. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
