Oooh... is that real or is it a proposed feature? That would fix a lot
of RPM problems. Or maybe regex-checking of names, so the search is for
/perl.net/i version >1 so that perl-Net1 would match. Erm, no, that'd
still break because the MDK guys are fond of making perl-Net-1.0.2 into
perl-Net1-0.2mdk. Oh well, I guess this just goes back into the "rpm
sux" box.
