Bug#901153: Another "downgrade" example

[Yvan Masson]

Hi,

I just hit another situation where Gnome Software thinks there is a
"downgrade":

imagemagick 8:6.9.10.14+dfsg-5+b1 -> 8:6.9.10.14+dfsg-7
libotf0 0.9.13-3+b1 -> 0.9.13-4


I found two possibly relevant upstream bug reports:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/issues/501
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/issues/262

*If* I understand the first issue well, Gnome Software will use a new
comparaison function from libappstream-glib, which is here:
https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/blob/master/libappstream-glib/as-utils.c#L1390

I will let someone that can read C verify if this function can handle
Debian versionning, but I don't think so…


Best regards,
Yvan
