Bug 1705739

I'd argue the problem is more with the Requires: , no idea where it's coming from, but flatcam has only:
Requires:       python3-PyQt4

(re-assigning to flatcam)

>I'd argue the problem is more with the Requires: , no idea where it's coming

It's probably the result of last rebuild [1] which happened once python's automatically generated dependencies [2] has been enabled for >=f30.
Based on above install_requires PyQt4 [3] gets automatically translated into Required: python3.7dist(pyqt4).

If I'm correctly understood it we have at least two options:
 a) use %{?python_disable_dependency_generator} in flatcam.spec file - this will remove automatically generated "Required: python3.7dist(pyqt4)" and still use "Requires: python3-PyQt4" from the spec file.
 b) fix the python3-PyQt4 to provide standardized "pyqt4" name.

I would personally vote for b) as it would clearly help to clean up the flatcam.spec file in the future.

That's what I was thinking too, as other pyqt4 depended packages may run into that issue too.
Fixing the provides-section of pyqt4 would solve all of them.

Ugh, turning that on *after* the mass rebuild was a bad idea (apparently?).

OK, I'll try rebuilding and see if those deps get added properly

OK, so looks like PyQt4 does not support dist-info, so this is going to have to be done *manually*, if at all.  

I'm not sure why/how PyQt4 apps like flatcam expect it to exist. 

From reading, 
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_automatically_generated_dependencies

I dont' see any macro to support his either.  I see:
Provides: %{py3_dist pyqt4}

but that'll only generate:
Provides: python3dist(pyqt4)

I suppose I could try a little more ugly:
Provides: python%{python3_version}dist(pyqt4)

@Rex,

I have been able to install flatcam and it installed the PyQt4 packages from updates-testing without complaining. Flatcam itself started and seem to work fine. I did only some basic operations though.

Thank you for modifying the provides section to have that sorted out.
