It's not just 2006 vs 2005 but look at this: * media-video/nvidia-settings Available versions: 1.0.6111 1.0.20060516 1.0.6629 1.0.7167 1.0.20050525 1.0.20050729 1.0.20051122 1.0.20051122-r1 1.0.20051122-r2 1.0.20051122-r3 Installed: 1.0.20060516 No idea why 1.0.20060516 is where it is, but it should be last in the list :) Looks strange to be overflow, it's nowhere near 32bit limit...
Created attachment 91119 [details, diff] Patch to get long version elements like 2006xxyy to be compared correctly Well actually it was an overflow :) unsigned short was used for version elements which can be only 16bit large, causing it to overflow 300 times for stuff like 2006xxyy :)) This effectively turned it into hash function, not good for comparing :) This patch changes it to unsigned long which is at least 32bit, should be enough... Also raised index file format version to 14 to force users to regenerate their index, as it's incompatible (the larger version numbers are stored there).
Thanks for the patch. It works for me.
thanks, this is fixed in 0.5.6
