Since it's clear from context that you're using %{?dist}, just bump from
1%{?dist} to 2%{?dist} in all the spec branches, add a whoops entry to
the changelog, then cvs commit, tag all branches, and move on. :)

This only happens if you have a dist tag defined on the system where you
build the srpm. You don't want to do that, for the above reason.
