Core 5, 6 and Rawhide it does. Please fix this inconsistent behaviour soon.

For further information see the build log of mimedefang.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sendmail-devel-8.13.1-3.RHEL4.5

How reproducible:
Everytime.

Actual results:
sendmail-devel doesn't require sendmail

Expected results:
sendmail-devel depends on sendmail

Additional info:
[12:00:22] < rsc> http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/logs/fedora-4-epel/31617-
mimedefang-2.62-1.el4/ppc/job.log - somebody an idea. The mimedefang package 
has buildrequires sendmail-devel
[12:06:47] < Kick_> rsc:  sendmail-devel from RHEL4 doesn't require sendmail
[12:08:07] < rsc> Kick_: why? That sounds broken
[12:09:28] < rsc> *very broken*
[12:10:21] < G> of course it does ;)
[12:11:46] < G> on the total off chance, there isn't a sponsor hanging about is 
there?
[12:12:22] < Kick_> rsc:  I have no idea, but I've checked it and it hasn't the 
requirement. (It has been added in F7, though)
[12:12:51] < G> then again, what does sendmail-devel include?
[12:13:13] < Kick_> G: the requirements ?
[12:13:17] < G> sendmail these days is just a static link to 'something better' 
like postfix no?
[12:13:32] < Kick_> $ rpm -qp --requires  sendmail-devel-8.13.1-
3.RHEL4.5.ppc.rpm
[12:13:32] < Kick_> rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
[12:13:32] < Kick_> rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
[12:13:42] < G> oh right, I get, you, sendmail-devel requires stuff like 
postfix-devel?
[12:14:06] < Kick_> no
[12:14:07] < G> (or is meant to)
[12:17:02] < rsc> Kick_: Fix it :)
[12:17:28] < rsc> Kick_: are you commiting the fix already to your internal CVS 
or should I open a bug report? ;)
[12:17:46] < Kick_> rsc:  not my package ;-)  And getting fixes into RHEL is a 
lengthy process
[12:17:55] < Kick_> rsc:  please bugzilla
[12:19:53] < rsc> Kick_: lengthy process? Just give me access to the CVS ;)
[12:23:33] < Kick_> rsc:  I just went to the next room where the sendmail 
maintainer sits ;-)   Thomas is looking into it, but mentioned that nothing of 
sendmail-devel actually requires anything from sendmail as there are p.e. no 
shared libs
[12:24:07] < Kick_> ... but this doesn't answer why he added the  dep in Fedora
[12:29:07] < rsc> Kick_: exactly.
