Description of problem:
Unlike every other library package included with RHL 7.2, there is not a
seperate libpcap-devel package -- the libpcap RPM contains all the files
that would be contained in a normal RPM as well as the -devel RPM.

This isn't a big problem, since even the combined RPM is small.  However,
this combined RPM doesn't 'provide' 'libpcap-devel' which may be required
by other packages.  For instance, you cannot --rebuild the SRPM of
ntp-4.1.0-4 that is a part of the base RHL 7.2 distribution since it checks
for libpcap-devel.

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS:
1.  split libpcap's RPM into libpcap and libpcap-devel which 'provide'
'libpcap' and 'libpcap-devel', respectively.
2.  have the libpcap RPM 'provide' both 'libpcap' and 'libpcap-devel'.
3.  change all the RPMs that require 'libpcap-devel' so that they only
require 'libpcap'.

I would think 2 or 1 would be the most desirable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  $ up2date libpcap
2.  $ up2date libpcap-devel
3.  $ rpm -q --whatprovides libpcap-devel

Actual Results:  "no package provides libpcap-devel"

Expected Results:  "libpcap-0.6.2-9"
OR
"libpcap-devel-0.6.2-9"
