[Rpm-maint] Why does my requires line not work?

[Jim Lynch]

I have the following (truncated) spec file:

Summary: GO fetch
Name: Local_GoFetch
Version: 1.42
Release: 1
Group: Application/Engineering
Source: http://
Requires: perl-suidperl expat perl-Crypt-SSLeay
Provides: perl(Local::GoFetch)

And rpmbuild looks like:

rpmbuild -bb Local_GoFetch.spec
Processing files: Local_GoFetch-1.42-1
Provides: perl(GoFetch) perl(Local::GoFetch)
Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <=
3.0.4-1rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <=
4.0-1
Requires: /usr/bin/perl expat perl(DBI) perl(HTML::Parser)
perl(HTTP::Request::Common) perl(LWP::UserAgent) perl(Local::SDBS_base)
perl(Net::FTP) perl(POSIX) perl(Socket) perl(Sys::Hostname)
perl(Thread::Queue) perl(locale) perl(strict) perl(threads)
perl(threads::shared) perl(warnings) perl-Crypt-SSLeay perl-suidperl
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files %{buildroot}
Wrote: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/Local_GoFetch-1.42-1.i386.rpm

And installing looks OK.

yum localinstall /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/Local_GoFetch-1.42-1.i386.rpm
Setting up Local Package Process
Examining /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/Local_GoFetch-1.42-1.i386.rpm:
Local_GoFetch - 1.42-1.i386
Marking /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/Local_GoFetch-1.42-1.i386.rpm to be
installed
Resolving Dependencies
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Package Local_GoFetch.i386 0:1.42-1 set to be updated
--> Running transaction check

But a spec file with
Requires perl(Local_GoFetch)>=1.42
 fails.

yum localinstall /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/vamini-httpd-1.43-1.i386.rpm
Setting up Local Package Process

Do I have to have something more on my Provides: line in the GoFetch spec
file?

Thanks,
Jim.
