I think it might be cleaner to generate rpm virtual provides for these. Something like perl's virtual package provides or possibly ruby's since ruby has both "normal" modules and "gem" modules: python-sqlalchemy Provides: pythonegg(SQLAlchemy) = %{version} Provides: python(sqlalchemy) = %{version} python-TurboGears Provides: python(turbogears) = %{version} Provides: pythonegg(TurboGears) = %{version} Requires: pythonegg(SQLAlchemy) >- 0.3.11 We'd want to run these virtual provides by the packaging committee (I'll take it there). And try to get scripts that create them to rpm devel. -Toshio
