Looking closer, I found that rpmvercmp is supposed to compare two versions or two releases, but not two version-release strings. There is a function rpmVersionCompare() in lib/psm.c that compares two headers by first comparing the epoch numbers (which I did not even know about), then the versions, and if still ties, the releases. > The end result though, is that your version comparison will always agree > with rpm because you are asking rpm (rpmvercmp is actually subroutine > in librpm that rpm uses when doing version comparisons). Nice, this is what I wanted. Thanks again, Enrique _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
