Jon,

So ... if I read the above correctly, the "prev" entries can be ordered
arbitrarily with respect to each other (within a package section) ?????

(and basically, the same question with respect to the "test" entries)

Meaning, one has to "interpret" the version id of each "prev" entry,

     in order to be able to establish the _latest_ "prev" entry (i.e. the
     version of the package before the current one) ?

Yes, the "prev" versions in your example are ordered incrementally, I 
can
see that ... (but, it is an example!)

However your message (preceding the example) only specifies an 
additional
requirement with respect to the "test" entries.

Regards,

Henri

Snippet from setup.ini: (where the "test" entries are definitely NOT
  ordered "incrementally")
