If you have:
Requires: foo
In modern Fedora, packages generate autoprovides like this:
foo-1.2-3.i686.rpm
======================
foo = 1.2-3
foo(x86-32) = 1.2-3
foo-1.2-3.x86_64.rpm
======================
foo = 1.2-3
foo(x86-64) = 1.2-3
This means that either package will satisfy that Requires. If the
package has:
Requires: foo%{?_isa}
At build time, %{?_isa} is evaluated to match the architecture and
bitsize, so, on i386, it evaluates to:
Requires: foo(x86-32)
and on x86_64, it evaluates to:
Requires: foo(x86-64)
In this situation, only the foo package which exactly matches the
architecture will have the matching provides, so there is no chance for
a mismatch.
