"igraph-devel = 0.5-8.fc8" satisfies the "igraph-devel = 0.5" requirement,
because the version part, "0.5", matches and the release doesn't matter.

In RPM version comparison, "0.5-8.fc8" is not higher than "0.5", because
only the versions are compared to eachother. Both are version "0.5". If
you want more detailed comparison, use full EVR everywhere.
