+Every package provides itself. While printing package information all
+fields are printed only if there is any relevant info for them. For
+example: a package with no "Replaces" won't get this printed at all.
+Packages which provide only themselves, were printing this field but with
+no values. This patch skips this field if the package provides only
+itself.
