Argh. Please try to not introduce any unnecessary initial epochs into
Fedora Extras packages!

It's all explained here :

Obviously, one could consider "it's too late", but if the package with
version "0.84rc2" wasn't too widespread, I'd really suggest you don't use
epoch and live with the minor breakage that the non-upgradability (until
0.85 something is released, that is) will cause.

And yes, I'm saying that because "0.82rc2" for version is contrary to the
guidelines, and because *I*'m your sponsor for Extras ;-)
