Add this to your spec file:
Requires: sword = %(rpm -q --queryformat '%%{version}' sword)
---------------------------------------------
having never tried something this general before, i'm speaking from a position
of complete ignorance, but does a spec file really support the equivalent of
command substitution with a "%"? using shell behaviour as a model, i would
have thought it would be "$(rpm ...)" instead.
i'm just a little surprised, that's all, and i can't find the definitive answer in the
docs at the moment.
