Without this fix, we get version "1.16.0-unknown" instead of "1.16.0".
That causes python3 to list the package version as uncomparable.
$ pip freeze gpg gpg===1.16.0-unknown
(The triple '='.)
Valid versions would've been:
- 1.16.0+unknown
- 1.16.0-dev
- 1.16.0
Those would show up as:
$ pip freeze gpg gpg==1.16.0
And then >= comparisons from package dependencies will work.
This changeset removes the "-unknown".
