Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2001-07-30 04:26:54 UTC

The packages in question have an Epoch: set, almost certainly.

Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2001-08-02 20:57:39 UTC

Indeed. Pretty much all of our gnome related packages have
an epoch set. If the thirdparty packages dont, that would cause
this error.

Jay, looks like this is a feature.  :-)  Can we close this one?
