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?
