What about just deleting the build package name, and leaving the wording
as "depends on"?  Like

===> depends on installed package: gtk+>=1.2.8 - gtk+-1.2.8 found
===> depends on installed package: ORBit>=0.5.1 - ORBit-0.5.3nb1 found

That's only two more characters than "Required" and it's more
``package-like'' - packages have dependancies and not requirements.

Simon.
