To be clear:
By default "$ rpm -q" ($ rpm -qi) does not show epoch information even if
the rpm actually has epoch. e.g.

[tasaka1 at localhost ~]$ rpm -q xscreensaver-base
xscreensaver-base-5.11-7.fc14.respin1.i686
[tasaka1 at localhost ~]$ rpm -q --qf '%{name}-%{evr}.%{arch}\n' xscreensaver-base
xscreensaver-base-1:5.11-7.fc14.respin1.i686
[tasaka1 at localhost ~]$ env LANG=C yum info xscreensaver-base
