Thank you Fabio. Since this is done automatically in rpm macros, there is a bug in
there.
I reported it to Elliot so now at the least the mystery is over. :-)
The thing is that R(package) is meant to provide the original
versioning (which allows hyphens and stuff), while R-package takes the
adaptation to our versioning system. The problem is that we generally
declare dependencies with R-package instead of R(package), and that's
an issue in cases like this. I think that preserving the original
versioning is a good idea, but we just need to switch to using
R(package) to declare all dependencies, like Python, tex, etc.,
already do.
