I must admit I was not sure what the package names were supposed to be
for "RPM". I don't know what packaging for "RPM Systems" means -- it
seems that different Linux distributions based on RPM name some packages
differently. I feel we are almost moving from the DLL hell of Windows
with version numbers into a package naming hell.

Thanks a lot. I'll change the package names in the dependencies.
