Short RPM question

[Aurelien Bompard]

Hi all

When I saw that an update for slang was available, I issued an apt-get
install slang, and thought that it would pull slang-devel too. It didnt:
# rpm -qR slang-devel
slang = 1.4.9

Shouldn't a -devel rpm require the main rpm with %{version}-%{release}, not
only %{version} ? In the fedora.us bug 2225
(https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2225), Michael Schwendt
explains that the full Requires it almost always needed. Could slang be one
of those corner cases, or is it just a bug ?

Thanks

Aurélien
