The leading 1: is the Epoch, which is usually hidden in RPM and not
displayed unless you query package details or the Epoch explicitly. E.g.
Thanks.
$ rpm -qi tix | grep Epoch
Epoch : 1
$ rpm -q --qf %{epoch}\\n tix
1
Omit it when querying RPM. Run just
rpm -V tk-8.5.9-2.fc14.i686 tix-8.4.3-5.fc13.i686 numpy-1.4.1-6.fc14.i686
or leave out the version-release.arch part. Notice that RPM does not
print the Epoch, try:
rpm -q tk tix numpy
