Currently yum ignores requires/provides that start with either rpmlib( or 
config(.  In depsolve.py it seems that Jeremy Katz checked in these ignores.

Jeremy is on vacation this week, so I wouldn't expect an answer from him.

Seth, do you recall why?  The cvs log shows:

revision 1.111
date: 2007/02/12 22:01:41;  author: katzj;  state: Exp;  lines: +126 -50
further work on in-yum depsolver
* handle packages which are already installed and solve deps for new packages
* handle packages being removed including file bits
* add whatRequires method for the rpmdb
* split things up a little

note that removals are currently very slow.
