[packagers] acroread dependencies error

[Wil Cooley]

Dag, Dries, etc.:

The acroread.spec produces RPMs that are not installable, because three
new libraries come up with the '(VERSION)' dependency:

$ rpm -ivh acroread-7.0.9-1.i386.rpm mozilla-acroread-7.0.9-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libAXE16SharedExpat.so(VERSION) is needed by acroread-7.0.9-1.i386
        libAXE8SharedExpat.so(VERSION) is needed by acroread-7.0.9-1.i386
        libAXSLE.so(VERSION) is needed by acroread-7.0.9-1.i386


One alternative is to add these to the "Provides:" spec, as has already
been done.  Another is to go back to automatic dependencies but filter
the requirements:

 %define __find_requires sh -c "/usr/lib/rpm/find-requires|grep -v VERSION"

(Unfortunately, you have to hard-code the path to find-requires, because
RPM's macro language doesn't handle recursion well.)
