  * Sat Jul 21 2012 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng at lists.fedoraproject.org> - 0-0.20110623SVN
  - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_Mass_Rebuild

The problem is that sgabios doesn't adhere to the package naming
guidelines properly:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#NonNumericRelease

The release string should have been something like:

  Release: 0.1.20110622svn

which (I think) would have avoided this problem.

I will fix this package, but it's something to watch out for ...

Rich.
