The line above is from the generated spec file.  Look at 
/home/balister/src/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/work/armv7a-vfp-neon-oe-linux-gnueabi/uhd/1_3.5.0-r3.0/uhd.spec 
-- line 719 and see what it contains.

In RPM there is a rule that the Epoch, Version and Release may not contain a 
"-".  So a translation should have occurred to change it to either a + or a _.. 
  (I don't remember which at the moment.)
