$ python -c 'import apt_pkg; apt_pkg.init(); print apt_pkg.VersionCompare("1",
"1-0")'
-1
$ dpkg --compare-versions '1' = '1-0'; echo $?
0
I think dpkg is right because policy says:
| The absence of a <debian_revision> is equivalent to a
| <debian_revision> of `0'.
So this looks like a bug in APT. But I think that in practice, the
APT algorithm is the dominant one, so it might make sense to update
policy and dpkg instead.
