Are you running this on FC6 or less? Support for the form I used was
added more recently.
$ fedora-rpmvercmp --help
rpmdev-vercmp <epoch1> <ver1> <release1> <epoch2> <ver2> <release2>
rpmdev-vercmp <EVR1> <EVR2> # if rpmUtils.miscutils is available
rpmdev-vercmp # with no arguments, prompt
The rpmUtils.miscutils module is provided by yum, which is version
3.2.1 on my F7 box.
Try breaking the strings up manually (and adding an epoch of 0):
$ fedora-rpmvercmp 0 0.6.5 7.fc7 0 0.6.5 7L.fc7
0:0.6.5-7.fc7 is newer
Or, you can enter the version to compare interactively, again using 0
for the epoch.
