firmware-tools missing dependency on pciutils

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

Version 2.2.5 of libsmbios should fix the problem with getsystemid. I had inadvertently changed the output from "System ID" to "Product ID" as a result of a cut and paste error.

firmware-tools-2.1.2-4.2.el5 is missing a dependency on pciutils:

# /usr/sbin/bootstrap_firmware

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind'                                                                                        

After installing pciutils this error goes away, but the next one is the "Could 
not find System ID in getSystemId output" one from firmware-addon-dell 
already reported by pj.  This is with firmware-tools-2.1.2-4.2.el5, 
dell-dup-1.1.2-1.12.el5, smbios-utils-2.2.2-1.2.el5, 
libsmbios2-2.2.2-1.2.el5, firmware-addon-dell-2.1.2-4.2.el5 on CentOS 5 i386, 
PE 1750 and 860.
