They wouldn't get pk-plugin automatically any other way, unless something else they have installed requires it. It's somewhat fuzzy use of Provides, but it is in a way that is favorable to our users. Note that the provides is only on the package name, not on any files or libraries, so if you had something that depended on codeina files or libraries this wouldn't satisfy it. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
