I believe it's rpm 4.9 that objects to Requires(hint), not fedpkg itself.

I'm not sure what going on in there. I got this message from fedpkg
immediately when I was submitting the build...

rincewind renrot [master] $ fedpkg build --target dist-f16-perl
error: line 18: Bad Requireflags: qualifiers: Requires(hint): perl(Image::Magick)
error: query of specfile /home/contyk/src/fc/renrot/renrot.spec failed, can't parse

Previous RPM versions accepted arbitrary flags within the parentheses.
This clearly is a bug that was fixed with rpm 4.9. "Requires(hint)"
never worked (same for "Requires(Pony)").

Does it mean we are still don't have suggestions?

Anyway, it seems more proper to get it fixed is to put normal
"Request" tag instead of "Request(smth)". Isn't it?

Depends on what you want. You can convert it into a regular requires to
keep the previous behavior but if the package is not really required and
you can also just drop it.
