An RPM package I spotted for GCC says it requires "libgcc >=
3.4.3-9.EL4".
3.4.3-9.EL4".
Assuming RPM can be queried for fulfillment of such "requirements,"
what collation technique or comparison operation does RPM use for
evaluating inequalities such as " > = 3.4.3-9.EL4"? I imagine it
would attempt "natural ordering" (e.g. 'ls --sort=version') rather
than ASCII-betical ordering. But does anyone know for sure?
