echo "2.6.3+dfsg-2,2.6.3+dfsg1-1" | tr ',' '\n' | sort --version-sort outputs 2.6.3+dfsg1-1 2.6.3+dfsg-2 Yet I understand you mean the upstream version number should be changed. For instance T could thus use 2.6.3+dfsg.1-1, which is a bit ugly but sorts well. Please kindly tell me if this sound unreasonable to you. > > Kind regards > > Andreas. > Thanks again for the advice, Pierre
