Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2001-07-30 00:26:54 EDT

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

Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2001-08-02 16:57:39 EDT

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?
