And normally it would.  Something is kind of whacky there, I know I've had
it winge about having the wrong version of a package for buildrequires.
Try changing it from lam to something like "fileutils >= 99" and see if it
still doesn't complain.

I wonder if there's something weird about your lam package, or maybe
multiple lam versions installed or that it thinks are installed.  "rpm -qa
| grep lam", does that report only the one?

Also try:

   rpm -qa --qf='%{Name} %{Version} %{Release} %{Epoch}\n' | grep lam

I wonder if it might be an epoch issue.

Thanks,
