It differs from distro to distro of course, but can be worked around. For 
example in Arch Linux, they have an "epoch" variable they can set in a 
PKGBUILD to tell Pacman to consider 5.80 (with an epoch of 1) is newer than 
23.08 (with an epoch of 0, the default). I'm hoping other distributions/
package managers have thought about this before 😅
