Description of problem: Updates to rit-meera-new-fonts-1.2.1-0.fc36 are blocked if langpacks-core-font-ml-3.0-16.fc36 is installed. Actual results: Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package langpacks-core-font-ml-3.0-16.fc36.noarch - problem with installed package langpacks-core-font-ml-3.0-16.fc36.noarch - package langpacks-core-font-ml-3.0-16.fc36.noarch requires smc-meera-fonts, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best update candidate for package smc-meera-fonts-7.0.3-4.fc35.noarch - package rit-meera-new-fonts-1.2.1-0.fc36.noarch obsoletes smc-meera-fonts <= 7.0.3 provided by smc-meera-fonts-7.0.3-4.fc35.noarch It probably makes the most sense to fix this in langpacks, but in the short term you could add a provides to make things work. It is possible for spec files to pick fonts based on characteristics instead of doing a build requires of a specific font. I think this might be the approach that should be taken for langpacks-core-font-ml, but someone more knowledgable tha me should look at it.
Parag, Could you suggest how best to handle this? Should I make a pull request to `langpacks` rpm, replacing SMC fonts with RIT fonts?
Yes Please Rajeesh. Also check Recommends: for Malayalam language in langpacks.spec file. See if you want to add/change any fonts there. Basically we want to recommend more (but not all) available font packages for that language.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle. Changing version to 36.
This appears to be fixed now.
