That is one of about a million (OK, maybe not a million :P) of what I
like to call "hidden requires".

These sort of things exist throughout the EL4 code base, but since
CentOS builds from upstream sources ... and since we want to remain 100%
compatibility where ever possible, we can't usually change these kind of
issues in CentOS directly.

However, since up2date is a package that has to have major modifications
anyway, I think we might be able to add that require (if required ...
I'll study the SPEC later, though initial an peek confirms what you
say).

Thanks,
