In RPM Version Comparison, numbers are higher than letters. When comparing different packages with eachother, the %dist tag must be at the same position in the %release tag for all package releases, so the dist value is only compared with other dist values. etherape 4.1.fc5 > 4.fc6 because 4 = 4 but 1 > fc6 xmoto-edit 6.1.fc5 > 6.fc6 because 6 = 6 but 1 > fc6 ettercap 13.3.fc5 > 12.fc6 would need a bump to 14.fc6, since: 13.3.fc5 > 13.fc6 because 13 = 13 but 3 > fc6 You can verify your versions with fedora-rpmvercmp when you are unsure: $ rpm -qf $(which fedora-rpmvercmp) rpmdevtools-5.3-1.fc6 $ fedora-rpmvercmp Epoch1 :0 Version1 :1 Release1 :13.3.fc5 Epoch2 :0 Version2 :1 Release2 :13.fc6 0:1-13.3.fc5 is newer $ fedora-rpmvercmp 0 1 4.1.fc5 0 1 4.fc6 0:1-4.1.fc5 is newer $ fedora-rpmvercmp 0 1 4.fc5.1 0 1 4.fc6 0:1-4.fc6 is newer -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
