Thanks for confirming what happens.  I maintain an unrelated package, so
I have some clue of what it's like to have to deal with everything and I
can certainly understand that things go wrong.  I did read your PR to
adjust the plan to be a little more defensive.  I'm glad to understand,
so that I can not worry that there's some other bug lurking (well there
is, but not with evidence yet :-).

Heh.  Well, there is trickiness, but if 2.8.3 to 2.8.4 is ok, 2.8.5 is
too.   pkgsrc has a whole library to compared versions, and the hard
part is not the dots so much as the various ways to spell alpha/beta/rc.
