BTW, it happens the same with the dependency "smtp-daemon" in this fedora rpm I'm mentioning. And I recently asked a question on IRC about this, but related to database engines so, if this is supported, can I do something similar for requiring mysql OR postgresql?
smtp_daemon and http_daemon work for mail and web servers. It would be trivial to add Provides: sql_database to mysql and postgresql, but do packages that "need either MySQL or PostgreSQL" really work out of the box with both servers? If I install your package and mysql, will it just work if I remove mysql and install postgres without reconfiguring anything? Unlike web and mail servers, database servers are so much different, because only the query language is kind of standardized, not the network protocol (if any), client library APIs or commandline tools. That's why there's no virtual provides for that.
