I believe what Don is talking about is that some src.rpm packages are 
called dist_<number>.src.rpm instead of dist.<number>.src.rpm, and what 
we have found is that koji seems to choke on this. But if you:

rpm -ivh mypackage-1.2.3.dist_1.src.rpm
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
rpmbuild -bs mypackage.spec

you end up with mypackage-1.2.3.dist.1.src.rpm

If you feed the original file with the underscore to koji, it chokes on 
it. If you feed it the newly generated src.rpm with the . in the name 
instead of _, it works fine.

What Don and I are wondering about is where did these _ named packages 
come from and why.
