Usual?

A devel package should always use
Require: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}

>     Require %{name} = %{version}
Such are "Require" is rarely correct, because rpms by default provide
"%{name} = %{version}-%{release}"
and do not provide
"%{name} = %{version}"
unless such a provide had explicitly been added somewhere.
