What was the Epoch: provided?
Missing Epoch: is exactly the same as Epoch: 0.
There's no reason to litter displays everywhere with a rule like above.
FYI:
rpm -qp --xml foo*.rpm
displays _EVERYTHING_ in package metadata. What's often
hard or confusing is the complex mapping of CLI queries
onto the specifics of what meatadata is present.
(aside)
There's also --yaml @rpm5.org which is far more readbale
than the eye scratchy XML.
