Complete posting/subthread was about the
| Requires: bind >= 9.3
I never said that the bind-30:9.3.2-20 package from FC5 would be
interpreted as an epoch 0.
'Today' means current rpm; previous rpm version tried to add an implicit
epoch when an epoch'ed and a non-epoch'ed package were compared. With
previous rpm versions, the 'Requires:' above would be _read_ as
| Requires: bind >= [30:]9.3
when _compared_ with bind-30:9.3.2-20 or as
| Requires: bind >= [20:]9.2.4
when _compared_ with bind-20:9.2.4-2.
But this implementation was buggy and stored the implicit epoch in
the rpm database when package was updated (afair) which was causing
lot of problems. Algorithm was replaced by a missing-epoch == epoch-0
assumption.
