RPM does not compare things such as "5.00504" vs "5.6", rather it breaks each part separated by a period into an individual item and compares those items. In effect, it compares 5 to 5, then 00504 to 6. Given that 00504 (which is really 504) is a larger number than 6 (or 00006 if you rather), the 5.00504 package is rpm newer than the 5.6 package. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
