> RPM provides can only do full string matching.

You mean you can't even query/filter for all packages where the provides string
contains e.g. 'gstreamer-0.10'? So you can only say 'give me all packages where
the provides string is exactly $this'? If that is the case, you would need to
extend or fix RPM IMHO. It would be enough to be able to query for a provides
string prefix for example, which could be done by a 'dumb' filter, and the
resulting strings could then be processed by something smarter.

Can that current system of yours handle additional fields - e.g. what do you do
when you get video/mpeg,systemstream=false,mpegversion=2,foo=bar where field
foo is unexpected and your system doesn't know about whether it's relevant or
strippable? Can you still find the line with
video/mpeg,systemstream=false,mpegversion=2? (decodebin/playbin would match
those as compatible)
