It is currently too easy to stumble over ones feets by just trying to
compile the openpkg*.src.rpm with a plain RedHat/SuSE/whatever vendor
RPM as seen on
http://studio.imagemagick.org/pipermail/magick-developers/2002-May/000533.html
All OpenPKG packages require "OpenPKG, openpkg >= YYYYMMDD", so they
are safe in this situation. But the bootstrap contains obviously
no depdendencies at all. Perhaps it should depend on itself. On
bootstrapping via .src.sh, it should not matter, because the .spec's
headers are ignored. And once it is installed, there is an "openpkg"
package. Voila!
