</span>You should just be able to just leave off the version tag (ie, just "use<br>
rancid;"), to use the current default version.<br>
You should only need to specify the version if you want to make sure it's<br>
consistent with the rest of a package, or need to ensure that some minimum<br>
version is present because you need features in that version or later.<br>
(3.6.2 is obviously > 3.2, so actually that should work - I think the check<br>
breaks because the version numbers have different formats, where one looks<br>
like a number and the other a string?.)<br>
