okay, I've been mucking with this for a good portion of the day. There are two
problems here:

1. it looks like rpm is generating an encoded string as a provide
2. rpm-python appears to be claiming it is a string object

Additionally the provides generated by the fontprov script are;

config(apanov-edrip-fonts) = 20081007-7.fc11
font(:lang=ava)  
font(:lang=be)  
font(:lang=bg)  
font(:lang=ce)  
font(:lang=fj)  
font(:lang=ho)  
font(:lang=ia)  
font(:lang=ie)  
font(:lang=ik)  
font(:lang=io)  
font(:lang=kum)  
font(:lang=kv)  
font(:lang=lez)  
font(:lang=mn-mn)  
font(:lang=ms)  
font(:lang=nr)  
font(:lang=om)  
font(:lang=os)  
font(:lang=ru)  
font(:lang=rw)  
font(:lang=sel)  
font(:lang=sh)  
font(:lang=so)  
font(:lang=sr)  
font(:lang=ss)  
font(:lang=st)  
font(:lang=sw)  
font(:lang=ts)  
font(:lang=uk)  
font(:lang=xh)  
font(:lang=zu)  
font(edrip)  
font(едрип)  
apanov-edrip-fonts = 20081007-7.fc11


Do we really want an '=' in the name section of a provide? I kinda hope we do
not.

I think the provides script needs some love and I think we need to figure out
what rpm-python is doing with the objects it is getting.

Panu, Florian, Jindrich comments?
