Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Won't fix directly, but will be fixable with epoch support in 3.5.0.

1.1.1rc2 is not considered newer... The problem is that version numbering is never consistent. 1.0_a might be and upgrade to 1.0 or it might be an alpha release. We provide the "force" to deal with this.
