I believe your issue is that even if you think you pass in string
'1.10' for the version, your client converts it to number and sends
it as 1.1.

For example, in Perl,

	@data = $client->call('packages.findByNvrea', $session,
		'bitstream-vera-fonts', '1.10', '4', '', 'noarch');

will not work while

	@data = $client->call('packages.findByNvrea', $session,
		'bitstream-vera-fonts',
		Frontier::Client->string('1.10'), '4', '', 'noarch');

will.

Please add an explicit string type, in whatever programming
environment you use on the client.
