The versioned dependency must include the Epoch (which is 1), i.e.:
Requires: libnfsidmap = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}
Note that subpackages inherit the Epoch from the main package unless you
explicitly set Epoch: 0 in them (and you will probably not make rel-eng
happy if you set that now after you already pushed the packages with Epoch 1
into Rawhide, there was unfortunately a FESCo decision that EVRs (Epoch-
Version-Release versions) should never go backwards in Rawhide).
