<p>I noticed a package (verilator) in Fedora that provides "2018-03-17".  Turns out that it installs a pkgconfig file which contains <code>Version: 3.922 2018-03-17</code>, which causes <code>pkgconfigdeps.sh -P</code> to output <code>pkgconfig(verilator) = 3.922 2018-03-17</code>.</p>
<p>Looking through various documents about pkgconfig files, I don't see where spaces are forbidden in a version string.  So I'm not really sure if this is a bug in the software, the packaging, or pkgconfigdeps.sh.</p>
