The other entries in the list of dependencies are names of provides. But gpg2 is name of executable and the command is not in package gpg2 or in a package with gpg2 in provides.

I can see your point, but the rationale (nor the change) isn't quite right: this is an upstream document and not specific to any distros. Which means we should refer to dependencies by their upstream names: gpg2 is really just gnupg >= 2.0.

While at it, python-rpm being on that list isn't right either. Firstly, you don't need such a dependency installed, you just need to build rpm with that support, and even that is no longer true since commit b3d3bc4

Thanks to Panu for pointing out that python-rpm should not been on the list.

Trivial as this change may be, the commit message is not really helpful as it completely fails to tell the actual story. The rationale(s) behind a change belongs to the commit message, not here in GH discussion.
