There's one in debbugs CVS, module source, Debbugs/Versions/Dpkg.pm, translated from dpkg's algorithm as of a couple of years ago. It doesn't do "~" yet (but then I don't think policy does either). Alternatively, you could use libapt-pkg-perl, but that's quite hard to get going on stable. > Speaking of xaw3d, I found a discrepancy in versions that I don't > understand. testing/main/source/Sources says xaw3d in testing is > version 1.5+E-1, while testing/main/binary-i386/Packages says xaw3d in > testing is version 1.5-25. How come the source and binary packages > have different versions in testing? They don't - I think your mirror is out of date. Both source and binary are 1.5+E-4 in testing.
