--- Comment #5 from Markus Mayer <lotharl...@gmx.de> ---
Actually, there two separate issues:
1. Explicit requiring a lib:
In general, when a package requires any lib, rpm recognizes this automatically.
So explicit lib requires are unnecessary (and also more error prone than
letting rpm do it). (see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Explicit_Requires for more
information)

If I understand it correctly this package does not require libexif
(libexif.so), but '/usr/bin/exif' (which is provided by exif). This must be
fixed (either by requiring '/usr/bin/exif' or exif).

2. advantages of a file:
- Multiple packages could provide the file
- unaffected by package renames
This is just a suggestion, if you want to require the packages by name I am
also fine with it.
