Darn.  This is what happens when you people let a green packager like me
take over maintenance of an established package.

What I was trying to accomplish was splitting out related, but different
languages, which were packaged together in earlier versions of moodle.
(They are packaged in separate source files upstream.)  So the current
spec file has this, for example:

%package        zh_cn
Obsoletes:      moodle-zh <= 1.6.3
Provides:       moodle-zh = 1.6.3

%package        zh_tw
Obsoletes:      moodle-zh <= 1.6.3
Provides:       moodle-zh = 1.6.3

I thought AutoReqProv would do the right thing here, but this problem
makes me suspect I should have written this:

%package        zh_cn
Obsoletes:      moodle-zh <= 1.6.3
Provides:       moodle-zh = 1.6.3, moodle-zh_cn = %{version}-%{release}

%package        zh_tw
Obsoletes:      moodle-zh <= 1.6.3
Provides:       moodle-zh = 1.6.3, moodle-zh_tw = %{version}-%{release}

Would that solve the problem?
