[Bug 1787757] Re: pinning doesn't recognizes releases names

[Julian Andres Klode]

This has nothing to do with pinning, but with versions. And that's how
version comparisons work. Of course, wrongly versioned packages like in
your example fail.

Title:
  pinning doesn't recognizes releases names

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Because pinning doesn't recongnizes releases names and treats them
  alphabetically it fails knowing which package is newest.

  This failed because the alphabet has ended and release names started
  again with A, B...

  Eg: 13.2.1-1bionic seems as a downgrade for 13.2.1-1xenial when it's
  really an upgrade.
