package version numbers



There are several packages that, when I try to upgrade them, aptitude
tells me that doing so would break many other packages. For these other
packages aptitude says:

	Depends: libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0) but it is not installable

However, 'apt-cache policy libglib1.2' shows:

libglib1.2:
  Installed: 1.2.10-17
  Candidate: 1.2.10-17
  Version table:
 *** 1.2.10-17 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Isn't 1.2.10-17 greater than 1.2.0?

Could someone please explain this to me?
