Description:
------------
pear makerpm package.tar.gz does nto create any Require statments in the spec file and so the rpms will install but then your scripts will fail with messages like "Failed opening required 'XML/Util.php'" even though the relevent package.xml files contain blocks like
<deps>
<dep type="pkg" rel="ge" version="0.4.2" optional="no">XML_Util</dep>
<dep type="pkg" rel="ge" version="1.1.0" optional="no">XML_Parser</dep>
<dep type="pkg" rel="has" optional="no">PEAR</dep>
</deps>

We know exactly what the other rpms are called as all rpms build of pear modules are called PEAR::$module_name so the spec file simply need to have "Requires: PEAR::$module_name >= $version"

All that is required is a spec file with the following lines within the header

Requires: PEAR::$dependant_module_name >= $version
Requires: PEAR::$some_otherdependant_module_name >= $version

Given this script builds all the pear rpms we know the exact name of what the rpm on which this one is dependant is called. e.g XML::Parser becomes PEAR::XML_Parser
