CentOS, Red Hat and Fedora use an NEVR model
(Name-Epoch-Version-Release) for version control.
This command shows that libvorbis has an epoch of 1:
[root at m4500 ~]# rpm -q --qf '%{epoch}\n' libvorbis
1
The default Epoch, if undefined, is (none) ... or 0.
You need to set the epoch in your spec file to at least 1 to make it
newer than the installed libvorbis.
See this link to read about epoch:
