- Your %{version}-%{release} (1.4.2-1.fc24) in %changelog is carries a hardcoded %dist. It should be 1.4.2-1 (without %dist).
This is intentional and it is permitted by rpmlint-1.7-1.fc23.noarch: libipt.x86_64: W: incoherent-version-in-changelog 1.4.2-1.fc20 ['1.4.2-1.fc24', '1.4.2-1']
Forget about rpmlint - It's an aid, but much closer to BS than to a real tool.
Although I admit it is not listed/permitted by: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Changelogs
This is intentional, because %dist tags in changelog entries will force maintainers to modify their specs each time they are merging from different branches.
Nobody with a little experience in Fedora would apply $dist tags in changelog entries and ... almost nobody has done so for > 10 years.
