Subject:    Conditional "Provides" in openpkg-import confuses openpkg-tools

openpkg-import-0-2.1.0.src.rpm has a spec file containing the following
lines:

%if "%{with_mta}" == "yes"
Provides:     MTA
Conflicts:    exim, postfix, sendmail, ssmtp
%endif

Apparently, since the "Provides" is only executed conditionally, it is not
recognized by openpkg-tools. So while openpkg-import will get built, it will
not be seen as providing "MTA" by openpkg-tools. It does not matter if the
default value for "with_mta" is "yes" or "no".

I had to remove the %if and %endif altogether to get openpkg-tools to
recognize the "Provides" keyword.

I wasn't sure if you were already aware of this quirk, so I thought I'd
mention it.
