Not the other way around. (currently v15.8b-1 in installed).Yeah, this isn't working as expected. Time for a bigger hammer... The previous version has been re-designated as 15.8a-2 (to match what it identifies itself as with 'cscope -V'). This should make setup update to the most recent version, while still allowing the previous version to be offered as installable...Uhm, bigger hammer ... you mean your modification will solve the problem for cscope, but not for f.i. the *lz4* packages?
Sigh. I thought I had fixed lz4 [1], but apparently not, it suffers from the same class of problem (briefly, replace-versions: doesn't work on versions which are also offered for installation)
These are the only other packages which I am aware of which suffer from this specific problem, and I'm not sure I want to fix those in the same way.
If you think there are other package which have this problem can you please tell me what they are...
