Um, it should. The release lists in AFS have epochs.
But there might be a simpler way, depending on what problems we are
trying to solve. If we are just trying to get epochs in the release
list, something like:
rpm -qa --queryformat \
'/%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}.rpm %{EPOCH}\n' |
sed -e 's/ (none)$//' -e '/^kernel-smp/d' > /var/athena/release-rpms
in place of our current list-generating command would work.
If we are also trying to solve the potential problem that the resulting
release-rpms file might contain locally installed RPMs, then we do need
to be copying in a release list from somewhere.
