Yes, but the problem here is that '-p4- is interpreted as "another part of the name" since it BEGINS with an alphabetic character. E.g. in "tetex-beta-", the 'beta' is part of the name, not a version. So, setup is probably recording this as package: xml-base-p4 version: 1 release: <none> Perhaps renaming it to xml-base-4p-1 would help? Then, the parser would figure it out thus: package: xml-base version: 4p release: 1 Or am I just talking bull patties? --Chuck
