Ok, that's what I assumed but I wanted to make sure. So, to expand on
this question then...why would the openpkg build tool want to downgrade
a piece of software from a X.Y.{1,2,...} version to a X.Y.0 version? It
seems to me that if there is a X.Y.{1,2,...} installed then that would
be the newest version of the package therefore it wouldn't do anything
with it.
