It can go up or down (forwards or backwards, newer or older) independent of the Debian (package) version. ITP Package foo Version: 1.0-1 Then a new upload # error... Package foo Version: 2.0-1 (really 1.5) Current corrections: Package foo Version: 1:1.5-1 or Version 2.0-really1.5-1 Instead use a new field to correct: Package foo Version: 2.0-2 Upstream-Version: 1.5-1 debian/changelog foo (2.0-2 Upstream:1.5-1) unstable; urgency=low The Depends in the control can then look for Upstream-Version and use that if it is set and fail back to Version if there is no Upstream-Version. Just an idea. -m
