Re: trouble with library dependency when main package depends on -libs subpackage

I'm having a bit of trouble with RPM dependencies. I'm
trying to package
faifa, which manages HomePlug AV interfaces. There's a library (libfaifa)
and two executables, faifa and hpav_cfg. I'm putting the executables in
the main package (faifa), the shared library in a -libs subpackage, and the
headers in a -devel subpackage. I have both the main package and -devel
subpackage depending on the -libs subpackage, both using the line:
Requires: %{name}-libs%{_isa} = %{version}-%{release}
When I attempt to install the main package, it says that there's an
unsatisfied "Requires: libfaifa.so.0()(64bit)" even if I already have the
-libs subpackage installed.
I'm sure I've overlooked something in the packaging guidelines and other
relevant documentation, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix this.
Any assistance will be much appreciated. My spec and SRPM are at:
http://fedorapeople.org/~brouhaha/faifa/
Query the built packages with "rpm". Verify the Provides in the -libs
package. Use "rpmls" to display the contents of the -libs package.
Make sure the shared lib is executable at the end of %install.
