The sorting command used to identify the latest software update package will fail if the version number is greater or equal to 10.
Example output :
$ ls -r software_package-*.asc*
software_package-v1.1.7.asc
software_package-v1.10.9.asc
software_package-v1.10.7.asc
software_package-v1.0.5.asc
software_package-v1.0.1.asc
The latest should be v1.10.9.
This can be fixed with sort --version-sort -r
Example:
$ ls software_package-*.asc* | sort --version-sort -r
software_package-v1.10.9.asc
software_package-v1.10.7.asc
software_package-v1.1.7.asc
software_package-v1.0.5.asc
software_package-v1.0.1.asc

Note: This sort command requires GNU sort from coreutils.
