Caveat: I don't understand the rpm package naming convention with

It's a common convention used in the rpm packaging to indicate what
you're needing instead of specifying a specific package. The required
"library" (or whatever) could move to another package and it wouldn't
matter. But it's just as useful when you know you need a certain
dependency, but don't know which package it is. And yes, you do have to
quote them, at least if you're using bash.
Random examples:
# rpm -q --provides perl-bignum
perl(Math::BigFloat::Trace) = 0.60
perl(Math::BigInt::Trace) = 0.60
perl(bigint) = 0.60
perl(bignum) = 0.60
perl(bigrat) = 0.60
# rpm -q --provides openssl-devel
pkgconfig(libcrypto) = 1.1.1n
pkgconfig(libssl) = 1.1.1n
pkgconfig(openssl) = 1.1.1n
For Java, you would use the "mvn()" notation if you know the Java
package name (Maven dependency) you're looking for:
# dnf install "mvn(com.ongres.scram:client)"
Package ongres-scram-client-2.1-3.fc35.noarch is already installed.
