Description Michael Catanzaro 2019-12-09 20:44:34 UTC 
Description of problem: GNOME Software has dropped support for Epiphany web applications. This means we no longer need the epiphany-runtime subpackage of Epiphany. The purpose of this package was to ensure users can have Epiphany installed (so it can be used as a web app runtime) without its desktop launcher showing up (so users don't *perceive* it to be installed, and we can have only Firefox as default browser).

So I'm removing the epiphany-runtime subpackage. But I don't want the main epiphany package to Obsoletes it, because then users upgrading from F31 -> F32 would have the main package installed during the upgrade. It would appear as if a strange web browser were installed during the system upgrade. So instead, we just want to uninstall the epiphany-runtime package without replacement.

I think it should look like this:

%obsolete epiphany-runtime 1:3.35.2-2

OK, this subpackage is still required by fedora-developer-portal. So: never mind. I'll need to revert my change instead.
Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2020-03-26 18:00:43 UTC 
OK, fedora-developer-portal has switched to Chromium. So I've removed epiphany-runtime from F33. Please Obsoletes it in rawhide!

Well, now it would be:

%obsolete epiphany-runtime 1:3.36.0-1
