This is probably beyond the ability of any tool to reliably determine (I mean, even more so than license identification in general), and is particularly way beyond what askalono can figure out since it is (by design I think) fairly primitive. In particular, askalono AFAIK only looks at what it thinks are standalone license files, while in GPL culture the "or later" vs. "only" distinction is typically not made in the license file itself. I took a very quick look at the source code of libcomps version 0.1.18 and concluded 'GPL-2.0-or-later' is likely correct. As far as I could tell, all source file GPL notices were of the "GPLv2 or any later version" form. The upstream spec file and setup.py file also indicate GPLv2+.
