 I see in the GUI (2019a) and in the DTD for the package file format

 like "provider = thatotherpackage" in the spec file? 
Yes, that's right. The package that has "provider" status is 
implicitly a dependency; it doesn't matter if it's explictly 
specified under "depends = ..." in the spec file or not.
