There seems to be this desire to put oddball version/release identifiers for packages. First, in FC2-T1 there was util-linux 2.12pre-3 being updated with 2.12-4 but rpm and up2date consider the older package to be newer.

Hm, the first one really shouldn't have been named XXpre. That's
a beta release, though, so, what's done is done. We'll try and avoid
that in the future.

Now, for FC1 the recent update for tcpdump has 3.7.2-7.1 being updated by 3/7/2-7.fc1.1 but (again) the older packages is considered newer (and the same is true for libpcap 0.7.2-7.1 being updated by 0.7.2-7.fc1.1).

That's a bug. Please put this in bugzilla.

and for the  announced  "fedora core 1 security-fix "  ??

   tcpdump, libpcap, arpwatch


i had no time to file a bug, i recognized it  ~ 3 hours later
 the message to the annouce-list  was being held
 an email to harald was send.
than i had to go to work, to late
