Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible until the Red Hat
maintainer for libunwind bumps the Release.

RHEL = libunwind-1.1-5
EPEL = libunwind-1.1-10

If I introduce libunwind-1.1-0.5 then it doesn't mess up RHEL but it
*does* mess up EPEL (where the Release will go backwards from 10 to
0.5). And even if this was desirable, I doubt koji/bodhi would let
anyone do something like this (for good reason).

Kind regards,
Jamie
