No. The simplified package naming scheme here is N-V-R.A as in "Name-Version-Release.Arch", and specifying the name would be enough when only a single package of that name is installed. Even if the name included one or more characters like '-', '_' or '.'. In dependencies related output you will also see N:E-V-R.Arch if the Epoch tag is set for a package, but when using rpm/dnf, specifying the Epoch is only needed in corner-cases. Putting a numerical "Version" and '.' characters into the package name can break quite some tools and scripts that strictly expect a simple N-V-R scheme. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
