No, as "foo" is arch independent. The idea here is that foo-devel has
a .so symlink that points to an arch specific library.
So a -devel's
Requires: %{name} ...
is treated differently (is arch specific) than a -libs's
Requires: %{name} ...
(which isn't?)
or is there some implicit requires in -devel's lib*.so symlink (which
doesn't show in 'rpm --requires' or 'rpm --provides')?
