--- Comment #1 from Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
RPM packages (perl-ExtUtils-XSpp) and perl modules (perl(ExtUtils::XSpp)) are
in independent name spaces. Epoch or version number of one does not influence
value of the other.

That means there is no problem with epoch number.

If you precious reverse dependency build-requires perl(ExtUtils::XSpp) >=
0.1602, you have either change it to >= 0.17 (or 0.16 or 0.16.02) or the
perl-ExtUtils-XSpp has to augment the number to four digits (Provides:
perl(ExtUtils::XSpp) = 0.1800).

I prefer the first option. At least because upstream sticks mostly at two-digit
versions.

In the far future, this will be fixed in Perl dependency generator by
normalizing all version strings to Perl dotted version strings (0.180.0):

$ perl -Mversion -le 'print version->parse(q{0.18})->normal'
v0.180.0
