You would think that rpm would be able to tell that 1.6.1 > 1.4.2, right?
Wrong. This morning, I built a new RPM of xchat, using the latest stable
release, 1.6.1. I built it myself to support SSL and other stuff.
Filing a bugzilla report, but this is too bizarre to not mention here.
Watch this and be amazed:
[anthrax:root](12:28pm)
/root/xchat# rpm -q xchat
xchat-1.4.2-6
[anthrax:root](12:29pm)
/root/xchat# ls -l
total 812
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 824289 Nov 27 12:28 xchat-1.6.1-1.i386.rpm
[anthrax:root](12:29pm)
/root/xchat# rpm -Uvh xchat-1.6.1-1.i386.rpm
package xchat-1.4.2-6 (which is newer than xchat-1.6.1-1) is already installed
[anthrax:root](12:29pm)
/root/xchat# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 7.0 (Guinness)
