[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] error: Illegal char '*' (0x2a) in: 1.4.* does not stop the build (#881)

In Fedora rawhide with rpm 4.15.0-1, when a dependency generator generates invalid requires (e.g. `Requires: python3.8dist(wrapt) = 1.11.*`), there is an error in the log:

```
error: Illegal char '*' (0x2a) in: 1.4.*
error: Illegal char '*' (0x2a) in: 1.11.*
```

But this does not stop the build. I consider that dangerous behavior. Errors should not pass silently (and this is pretty silent, considering you need to know what you are looking for to find it).
