What is "-ivF"? Shouldn't it be either -iv or -Fv?

Install the "rpmdb-redhat" package. Then you can query with
- --redhatprovides and --redhatrequires like this:

  $ rpm --redhatprovides libapr-0.so.0
  subversion-0.17.1-4503.0

httpd-mmn is not a package, but a virtual capability:
  
  $ rpm -q --provides httpd | grep httpd-m
  httpd-mmn = 20020628

Other packages use it to depend on it. It is a hint that you might
need to rebuild/upgrade the other packages, too, in order to not
break anything.
