Not true. There is software version number and a package version number. 
The package contains both, and an increase in either will cause the 
package systems to say that the installed package is out of date. While 
the myth software version number does not change when an updated fixes 
patch is applied, then package version number does. As a result, the 
software systems detect that the myth packages are out of date. ATrpms 
has updated the fixes patch multiple times, each time incrementing the 
package version number.
