This is probably the reverse of your previous situation.  The name of
the package is clearly not "jdk", so it must be either "jdk-1.6.0_04"
or "jdk-1.6.0_04-fcs".  Doing "rpm -qi jdk-1.6.0_04-fcs" will show you
which part is the name and which part is the version.  Then you just
need to write:

Requires: <name part> = <version part>
