My mistake, they are BuildRequires: and are as follows:

python
gettext
intltool

> What version of RPM?

I *think* its 5.2.x, but not 100% sure.  I don't have access to the
host today and can let you know tomorrow.  It was installed from the
FreeBSD ports collection for 8.2-RELEASE.

I thought the same.  The path in FreeBSD is
/usr/local/etc/rpm/sysinfo/Providename

However, might it be different since they are BuildRequires: and not Requires: ?

> Alternatively, you can stub out by building a package with a Provides:

I had considered this and may try it tomorrow.

(aside)
The RPM I am trying to build is yum.  I suspect that I may hit a
number of snags with the yum.spec as I try to get an RPM built for
FreeBSD.  This happens to be the first.
