apt lorg3 on RH9

[Matthias Saou]

My wild guess would be that this is indeed the "no epoch equals zero
epoch" issue. Apparently on RHL9 it shouldn't apply, as "Requires: foo =
%{version}" in the foo-devel package won't work if foo has a non-zero
epoch set, and this seems to be what you're seeing.

Things were really broken back in the days, eh! :-)

What was it already? Ignore the epoch in the comparison if we're comparing
against a "(null)" epoch?
