Description of problem: A package description for lcmaps, all versions AFAICS, ends up with the following "Since this is middleware, it does not interact with the user directly; to use it in a program please see the lcmaps-interface package". Here is the catch - there is no lcmaps-interface among Fedora packages.
This is a historic artifact and predates the inclusion of lcmaps in fedora. lcmaps-interface used to be a pseudo-package but that's now done according to the fedora guidelines so lcmaps-devel is the correct package to use. We apparently missed updating the description. Will be fixed in the next release.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

I've created pull-request https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/lcmaps/pull-request/1 to fix this.

Current versions of lcmaps package switched in a description from "lcmaps-interface" to "lcmaps-devel" and the later package does exist.
