By design, building a Software Collection package generates a number of
Provide: scl-package() tags. The purpose of these is to internally identify the built package as belonging to a specific Software Collection. The tags are detailed in the following table.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ships with an older version of the RPM Package Manager, so as an exception, building the same package on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 only generates a single
Provide: scl-package() tag, as detailed in the following table. This is an expected behavior and the differences are handled internally by the scl tool.

Do not use these internally generated dependencies to list packages that belong to a particular Software Collection. For information on how to properly list Software Collection packages, see Section 1.5, “Listing Installed Software Collections”.
