I'm sorry, not sure if you would call this a bug, but I do.
I don't see any way to submit such a request, but I think it is important enough to be reported.

All kinds of software (correctly from my POV) interprets that non-standard version number as higher than everything else, so it is always suggested as an update.
I guess, no one will ever use such an old library, and if so, this is probably not the one to be chosen, as you don't even know which version it really is.
So, I request to remove that old version from the repository or if it should be kept, please change the version to something reasonable.

(I also found a RELEASE113 version which is better, because it isn't interpreted as a version number)

Thanks for the effort,
Harald
