Description of problem:

When viewing the packages contained in a specific version of a content view, there is no mention of the epoch version of the package. Navigate to Content => Content View, select a content view, and select a specific version. Then select the "rpm Packages" tab to see all packages in the content view. We see the version, but the epoch is not included (should be [epoch]:[version])

When users create a filter to exclude package versions, the epoch version is needed, or else the filter doesn't work properly. The only way users can see this issue, is by making a filter based on a package version, and clicking the "Show Matching Content" button. This displays all packages that will be removed/kept, and shows the epoch and version number of the package.

There was a bug opened to have the epoch version displayed in Content => Packages, which has been fixed:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Additional info:

When users are adding the "RPM Name" and "Architecture" to the filter, there is an auto suggestion when the user starts typing. However, there is no auto generation for the Version number. Perhaps this would help users if we auto generated the version number as users typed.
