To humans, yes, but the "L" parses later than the corresponding ".": | v foo-0.6.5-7.fc7.rpm foo-0.6.5-7L.fc7.rpm ^ | I suspect the script is doing a character-by-character comparison, so the shorter string has precedence and the "." is earlier in the ASCII sequence than the "L" as well. That's my opinion...I could be wrong.
