Is epoch set? Better use something like %{?epoch:%{epoch}:}%{version}
that always works. For readablity you could define a macro for this
and reuse it throughout the specfile. I find the followinf definitions
handy:
%eversion %{?epoch:%{epoch}:}%{version}
%evr %{?epoch:%{epoch}:}%{version}-%{release}
