Hi, 

Can I remind you this change was announced in rpm 4.2 ? :)

Oh well, I know what it is, we put rpm-4.4 3 month ago in the mandriva devel 
branch and some packages are still not fixed :)

I see Fedora apply a patch to keep the 'PreReq' keyword value in spec. At 
mandriva we decided to definitivelly break the compatiblity instead wait and 
act when it is too late.

Happy hacking.

Nanar.
