Yes, useful.
Example:
perl-SOAP-Lite from perl-SOAP-Lite
provides perl(LWP::Protocol)
perl-libwww-perl from perl-libwww-perl
provides perl(LWP::Protocol) EQ 0 1.46
required by: 1:perl-LDAP-0.34-4.fc9.noarch
required by: perl-libwww-perl-5.808-7.fc9.noarch
Several of such conflicts have been fixed. Others have become victims of
the early bug-triaging madness. Such conflicts pop up like mushrooms (Mono
also adds several suspicious ones). Sometimes one can find obsolete Perl
packages:
perl from perl
provides perl(TAP::Parser::Source) EQ 0 3.12
perl-TAP-Harness from perl-TAP-Harness
provides perl(TAP::Parser::Source) EQ 0 3.10
required by: perl-TAP-Harness-3.10-1.fc9.noarch
required by: 4:perl-5.10.0-38.fc10.i386
If you really want to check all sorts of multiple Provides, that'll be
a long list with a lot that must be white-listed.
