This has already been done, by Jeff Johnson at rpm.org (the unofficial never-made-it-to-official-but-why errate), ATrpms, fedora.us, fedoralegacy, ... The reason for these errata was not the letters-vs-numbers or rpm-non-symmetric bug, but the database corruption and locking issues. So, if you have the numbers-and-letters bug, then this bug will be the least you care about ... Ergo: We can now safely assume rpm handles numbers and letters correctly. Especially in the scope of the Fedora Project, as well as for Red Hat's other product lines (the RHEL family). (I hope I didn't lie about RHEL, someone please confirm). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
