From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19-6.2.1smp i686; Nav) Description of problem: RPM package mkisofs-1.9-6 contains mkisofs version 1.13, Which is in my opinion confusing and inconsistent. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -q mkisofs 2. mkisofs --version 3. reading the output Actual Results: [w@pluto w]$ rpm -q mkisofs mkisofs-1.9-6 Expected Results: [w@pluto w]$ rpm -q mkisofs mkisofs-1.13 Additional info:
The mkisofs program is part of the cdrecord sources, which is now the cdrtools package. The source code package version number is the version number RPM uses for subpackages. The binary mkisofs package is a subpackage of cdrtools, and as such it gets given the version number of the package that it comes from. While this may be confusing, it is not a bug, but rather an artifact of how packages are split up.
