What were you trying to do that didn't work?

Installing the ansible-freeipa package version 1.13.2 did not conflict in the defined required dependency of ansible-core 2.15.

What is the impact of this issue to you?

Wrong version of ansible-core can be installed and therefore might cause issues.

Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

ansible-freeipa-1.13.2-1.el9.src.rpm

How reproducible is this bug?:

always 

Steps to reproduce

1. install lated RHEL 9.5
2. sudo dnf install ansible-freeipa

Expected results

the installation shall fail as ansible-core 2.15 is not provided and the dependency is resolved by using the 2.14 ansible-core rpm 

$ dnf deplist ansible-freeipa
package: ansible-freeipa-1.13.2-1.el9.noarch
  dependency: /usr/bin/bash
   provider: bash-5.1.8-9.el9.x86_64
  dependency: /usr/bin/python3
   provider: python3-3.9.19-8.el9_5.1.x86_64
   provider: python3-3.9.19-8.el9_5.1.i686
  dependency: ansible-core >= 2.15.0
   provider: ansible-core-1:2.14.17-1.el9.x86_64 

reason for the ignoring version is that the RPM spec file does not specify the epoch.

A possible mitigation could be to change the lines from

%if 0%{?fedora} >= 35 || 0%{?rhel} >= 9
Requires: ansible-core >= 2.15.0
%endif 

to (adding the epoch into the notation as described in (https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/dependencies.html#:~:text=the%20package%20name.-,Versioning,-The%20full%20syntax) 

%if 0%{?fedora} >= 35 || 0%{?rhel} >= 9
Requires: ansible-core >= 1:2.15.0
%endif 

Actual results

the ansible-freeipa module get's installed and might cause hidden issues.
