I've made a small adjustment to the system to show how ugly can it be:
The following packages will be REPLACED:
compat-gcc (7.3-2.96.128) - compat-gcc's version, good
(by (1.4.2-5.fc7) - sysklogd's version :)
compat-libgcc-296) () - this version field is empty now
(7.3-2.96.128) - but look, here's a new one :)
sysklogd (1.4.2-5.fc7) - once again, proper version
(by () - silly empty field
rsyslog) (7.3-2.96.128) - compat-gcc's version again :)
Those are 7 lines and there's no mention of compat-libgcc-296 or rsyslogd's true
version :)
Heh, yes... well known and ages old silly but annoying bug that I just haven't gotten around to do anything about although it's even in apt-rpm roadmap. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping It surely is still present in F9. For F10, we'll see when apt gets fixed. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'.

Correctly print a replacement line
Attached pacth "fixes" the problem. Now output should look like:
The following packages will be REPLACED:
compat-gcc (7.3-2.96.128) (by compat-libgcc-296)
sysklogd (1.4.2-5.fc7) (by rsyslog)
It does not print versions of replacement packages here,
but you can see them in 'NEW packages' section.
