Thats out of Current's control - because doing version comparison is
_so_ complex and fraught with danger, and becuase the server must come
to the same/similar conclusion as the client, Current uses rpmlib.

At this point, I'm confused as hell - I dont' see where rpm's code
changed from the rpm that shipped in 7.1 to the rpm that shipped in 7.2
(in the version compare routines).

John's getting different results from Rob when he does label compares.

Can anyone else post log entries (it'll have to be at the maximum log
level, but please trim them down to just the relevant parts) of where a
comparison is made and it looks like Current got it _wrong_?

We will NOT be adding the headers to the backends - we'd code
versioncompare into Current first, and its not clear thats where the
problem lay yet.
