FC 2 - RPM virtual provides on PIE broken (odd conflicts/triggers)

Some people will be experiencing  odd behaviour due to the way rpm adds library provides - this can causes any PIE executables to be added as 

Provides: $(basename /path/to/foo)

A name level provides matches all EVR so known issues - spurious conflicts,
misfired triggers, etc occur. As more things in rawhide get built -fPIE it's something to be aware of untill an errata can be issued.
