Description

I'm testing a build with the main 'boost' package using:
Obsoletes: boost-signals%{?_isa} < 1.69.0
But this will only cause it to be removed if somebody installs the main 'boost' package. If you only install e.g. boost-system and boost-thread then you would still have the old boost-signals.
In practice this is not harmful, because libboost_signals.so.1.66.0 doesn't require any other boost libs and so doesn't block any upgrades or cause other problems. If we want to guarantee it's removed even when 'boost' isn't installed then it would ned to be added to the fedora-obsolete-packages RPM. I don't think we need to do that.
> But this will only cause it to be removed if somebody installs the main 'boost' package.
AFAIK this being in the repo will actually install boost to replace boost-signals on a regular update.

fedora-obsolete-packages policy currently is: only remove packages that are problematic (when left on the system or blocking updates/upgrades).
