You can use 1.0.really1.0-1 as a version, for example. For alpha and beta releases, it is better to use the ~ character, that is lower than all other characters. Examples: $ dpkg --compare-versions 1.0.b lt 1.0.really1.0 ; echo $? 0 $ dpkg --compare-versions 1.0~b lt 1.0 ; echo $? 0 -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [email protected] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [email protected] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
