Summary: update-rpms /mdk / versioning problem
Initial Comment:
I have observed some bugs with the numerotation scheme
of Mandrake.
1) Parsing :
Querying RPMs... libGConf2_4-2.4.0.1-3mdk.i586.rpm
Hmmm... libGConf2_4-2.4.0.1-3mdk provides "libGConf2 >=
2.4.0.1-3mdk"
Querying RPMs... shadow-utils-4.0.3-7mdk.i586.rpm
Hmmm... shadow-utils-4.0.3-7mdk provides "shadow-utils
> 20000902-5"
Querying RPMs... gaim-0.75-5mdk.i586.rpm
Hmmm... gaim-0.75-5mdk provides "hackgaim <= 0.60"
2) Comparison of versions :
libutempter0-0.5.2-12mdk
libutempter0-0.5.2-12.1.100mdk (older) installed
mkinitrd-3.5.18-4mdk
mkinitrd-3.5.18-4.1.100mdk (older) installed
mount-2.12-2mdk installed
tar-1.13.25-11mdk installed
utempter-0.5.2-12mdk
utempter-0.5.2-12.1.100mdk (older) installed
In all the "to update case", update-rpm is wrong and
the installed rpms are newer than the one it chooses to
update.

In comparing version strings:
0.5.2-12mdk is cracked into "0", ".", "5", ".", "2", "-",
"12", "mdk"
0.5.2-12.1.100mdk is cracked into "0", ".", "5", ".", "2",
"-", "12", ".", "1", ".", "100", "mdk"
The bugaboo is that the first line's 8th item ("mdk")
lexically compares BEFORE the second line's 8th item ("."),
so, the first item is considered OLDER then the second.
And yes one MUST consider the items between the numeric
parts to properly sort many, many, rpms.
Any solution to this will be a HACK. I'm leaning towards
just DELETING any "mdk" suffix...

Well, I think that this is an update-rpm problem because
update-rpm conclusion is that 12.1.100mdk is older than
12mdk while this is not the case : the newest package is
12.1.100mdk but update-rpm think that it is 12mdk

So, to clarify, update-rpms is choosing
utempter-0.5.2-12.1.100mdk instead of
utempter-0.5.2-12mdk?
If 12.1.100mdk is truly older than 12mdk, then Mandrake has
some issues when it comes to versioning. If update-rpms is
thinking the 12.1.100mdk is older and choosing the 12mdk
over the 12.1.100mdk, then this is definitely an update-rpms
bug.
