Summary: epm 0.8 -q reports incorrectly package installed if package version specified

Description:   Opened: 2003-04-20 12:54 0000 
Do epm -q slocate-2.7-r1 when slocate-2.7-r2 is installed returns
slocate-2.7-r1 as if it was installed.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find package with older ebuild
2. epm -q package-installed-ver
3. epm -q package-old-ver



Expected Results:  
I believe it should return 'not installed'. This allows scripts to check
postively if a given version is installed eg: checking for old packages in
pakages/All directory. Would also be consistent with RPM output.



I have a patch which makes -q test the version if specified on command line.

Thanks, I fixed this in cvs as 0.8.1.  The patch is much appreciated.

Note that the epm ChangeLog for 0.8.1 refers to bug 19438, not this bug.

Also, I'd love to see my 4-month-old epm patches (see bug 8832 and
bug 12798) get incorporated into epm -- should these bugs be
reassigned to you, Aron?

Yes, please assign epm bugs to me.  And thanks regarding the ChangeLog, I'll
fix it.
