[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] version comparison with epoch does not work as expected (#450)

[Panu Matilainen]

While I hardly present in any discussions leading to the change  back then, I do remember dealing with it from the other side of things in the plentiful, namely from apt-rpm and packaging POV. I'm really not going to dig back into them old memories in detail, but I have a fairly strong recollection of there being some unsolvable (corner or not) cases with epoch promotion that the current behavior solves. Which is what I meant with the "doesn't work" remark. But of course it's possible I'm misremembering something there, been a while...
