Additional info:
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2002-12-03 16:58:15 UTC 
Yes. It has a higher epoch, though.
Comment 2 Bernd Bartmann 2002-12-04 12:56:03 UTC 
Ok, I didn't even know that an EPOCH existed at all. But how can I get the EPOCH
from the filename? This makes system maintainance much harder than necessary.
Everyone who looks at the filename expects to see full versioning informations.
Comment 3 Bert de Bruijn 2002-12-04 13:56:07 UTC 
$ rpm -q --qf '%{epoch}\n'  xinetd
