Hello,

Why is version 1.0.18a.dfsg considered OLDER than 1.0.18.dfsg?

$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.0.18a.dfsg-1 gt 1.0.18.dfsg-1 ; echo $?
1

If not adding the ".dfsg", the result is as expected (1.0.18a > 1.0.18) :

$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.0.18a-1 gt 1.0.18-1 ; echo $?
0

Is that a bug with version numbers which contain ".dfsg", or is it
that I don't understand something about versioning?
