Title: According to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentat...

Zypper is suse linux's package management tool.

If you install a redline generate rpm and do not set the PROVIDENAME header. zypper will complain with the following excpeption :

Target initialization failed:
rpmdb2solv -r '/' -p '/etc/products.d' '/var/cache/zypp/solv/@System/solv' > '/var/cache/zypp/solv/@System/solvkruxsf'
bad dependency entries

The reason for this is, that zypper assumes that if there is a PROVIDEVERSION there should also be a PROVIDENAME header

According to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch-package-structure.html#id623000

PROVIDEVERSION, PROVIDENAME and PROVIDEFLAGS should be used together
