Can anyone explain why I'm seeing the following? libX11-1.4.99.1 < needs updating (index has 1.4.4,1) How is it that version 1.4.99.1 compares as "less than" 1.4.4,1? Since when is 99 < 4? Is it the PORTEPOCH in 1.4.4,1 that's throwing a monkey wrench into the works? This makes no sense to me. What is the logic being applied here? -- Conrad J. Sabatier conrads@cox.net
