Description of problem: Until Monday 11th September 2018, the package uwsgi-plugin-python existed. Due to a change in policy, the new name is now uwsgi-plugin-python2. However, as stated on this page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Rename_Python2_Subpackages , the change should be backward compatible, which is not the case Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.17.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. docker run --rm -ti centos:7 2. yum install -y epel-release 3. yum install -y uwsgi-plugin-python Actual results: [root@da8c063decec /]# yum install uwsgi-plugin-python Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, ovl Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: centos.crazyfrogs.org * epel: epel.mirror.wearetriple.com * extras: centos.quelquesmots.fr * updates: centos.mirror.ate.info No package uwsgi-plugin-python available.

As it can be confusing the expected results is that the command "yum install uwsgi-plugin-python" successfully runs, which isn't the case anymore after the release.
Created attachment 1482649 [details] Patch to provides the old package name This is a proposed patch to enable the backward compatibility
The rename was intentional, it was part of https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/uwsgi/pull-request/4. Even though nothing in Fedora or EPEL requires the old name, I agree that it would be preferred to provide the old name for compatibility. I'm doing some refactoring of the spec file to comply with https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal, so I'll make sure to add the virtual provides with those changes and include it in the next release.
After some investigation, I also found out that uwsgi start is suffering permission denied issues on both systemd and non systemd distributions. I fixed both the Provides issues and this one in the patch rbhz1628147.patch attached. Regards,
