Description Florian Weimer 2020-01-28 11:01:25 UTC
glibc.spec currently contains these directives:

Obsoletes: %{name}-headers(i586)
Obsoletes: %{name}-headers(i686)

Newer RPM versions reject those tags because '(' is not a valid character in package names (virtual Obsoletes: are apparently not supported).

There is also an unversioned obsoletes:

%ifarch %{ix86} %{sparc}
Obsoletes: glibc-debuginfo-common
%endif

We should remove that as well because without a version, it is impossible to install the package of that names if it ever comes back.

Verified, these problematic obsoletes were removed.
