See

I thiink the only reason autofs has this requirement is that it needs to run on
a kernel newer than or equal to 2.6.17. So, I'm moving this bug to autofs.
Of course, having that kernel package installed doesn't mean that one is
running under that kernel. Docker obviously demonstrates this, but also,
there's no reason one couldn't have a kernel 2.6.17 package installed but be
running 2.6.16 since the system wasn't rebooted.
However, all of that seems pretty much moot now, since we're long past the
required kernel version in Fedora and even back to RHEL 5. My strong
recommendation is to just remove the "Requires: kernel" line.
(Another option would be to use "Conflicts: kernel < 2.6.17", but that still
has the conceptual problem with package vs. running kernel. I say just drop
it.)
