Yes, you can already use '=' (zypper install zypper=0.11.1), no problem with 
that, but there were specific requests to be able to use also dash instead of 
the '=' (since the packages with version are often described like that).

Also, rug is doing it somehow (curious :O) with the dash, and we should be 
compatible with rug as much as possible.


I disabled the code for now... in case anybody is interested, here it is:

    // try to find foo-bar-1.2.3-2
    if (!by_capability && str.find('-') != string::npos)
    {
      string::size_type pos = 0;
      while ((pos = str.find('-', pos)) != string::npos)
      {
        string trythis = str;
        trythis.replace(pos, 1, 1, '=');

        DBG << "trying: " << trythis << endl;

        Capability cap = safe_parse_cap (zypper, trythis, kind);
        sat::WhatProvides q(cap);

        if (!q.empty())
        {
          str = trythis;
          by_capability = true;
          DBG << str << "might be what we wanted" << endl;
          break;
        }
        ++pos;
      }
    }
