But that is correct. 0.30 is older than 0.1405. Versions aren't floats, they are dot-delimited integers. > Previously:- > BuildRequires: perl(DateTime) >= 0.1405 > would have been satisfied by perl-DateTime-0.30-1.i386.rpm > Now (on FC5) it is not.

I'm pretty sure all version compares are inside of librpm. -- Garrick Staples, Linux/HPCC Administrator University of Southern California -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
