From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: It's my understanding that a missing epoch is equivalent to an epoch number of 0. For example, up2date will recognize a package with no epoch as a possible upgrade for a package with an epoch of 0. However, the RHN web site says that a package with no epoch is outdated by a package with an epoch of 0. For example, samba-3.0.11-1 (no epoch) is considered as being in the same epoch as samba-3.0.9-1.3E.2:0, so it should be considered an upgrade to samba-3.0.9-1.3E.2:0. up2date recognizes samba-3.0.11-1 as an upgrade to samba-3.0.9-1.3E.2:0, but the RHN web site says that a host with samba-3.0.11-1 installed is out of date. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install samba-3.0.11-1 from Samba's web site. 2. Run up2date -p. 3. Go to the RHN web site. Actual Results: RHN says that the host is out of date and should have samba-3.0.9-1.3E2:0 installed. Expected Results: RHN should recognize that the host is up to date.
