question about rpmdsCompare()

[David Peterson <petersod@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have some code that uses rpmdsCompare
as follows:

    rpmds x, y, z;

    // code that initializes
x, y, and z goes here

    int result0 = rpmdsCompare(x,
z);
    int result1 = rpmdsCompare(y,
z);

Adding printf() calls immediately before
the calls to rpmdsCompare()
shows that x, y, and z contain the
following information:

    contents of x
    -------------
    type:      
           Provides
    name:      
           kernel
    epoch/version/release:
2.6.18
    flags:    
            0x08

    contents of y
    -------------
    type:      
           Provides
    name:      
           kernel
    epoch/version/release:
2.6.18-164.el5
    flags:    
            0x08

    contents of z
    -------------
    type:      
           Requires
    name:      
           kernel
    epoch/version/release:
2.6.18-238.1.1.0.1.el5
    flags:    
            0x08

result0 gets a value of 1, indicating
a match.  result1 gets a
value of 0, indicating no match.  Is
this the expected behavior?  I
would have expected a result of "no
match" in both cases since
neither x nor y has an epoch/version/release
value that matches z
exactly.

Thanks,
Dave
