$ rpm -qp --provides kernel-PAE-debug-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.i686.rpm

kernel-i686 = 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7PAE-debug

Perhaps something in what creates this report is broken, ie. not handling the 
two dashes in the right-side "EVR" the same way as rpm, yum, and smart.  None 
of those (tested on FC6) have any problem with this dependency.

Note that this ends up with the version of the provides 
being "2.6.21-1.3194.fc7PAE" (yes, with the dash) and release being "debug" 
in repodata which is not pretty, but again, it works.  More discussion/info
