It also seems to impact the generated Provides for compat/symlinked packages, here with golang-gopkg-logex-1 with a compat golang-github-chzyer-logex:


Provides: golang(gopkg.in/logex.v1) = 1.1.10-16.el9 golang-gopkg-logex-1-devel = 1.1.10-16.el9 golang-ipath(gopkg.in/logex.v1) = 1.1.10-16.el9
Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

Obsoletes: golang-github-chzyer-logex-devel < 1.1.10-9
Processing files: compat-golang-github-chzyer-logex-devel-1.1.10-16.el9.noarch

On Fedora Rawhide we have:

You can see here in EL9, we have the compat- Provides, the golang-symlink Provides, but not the golang(github.com/chzyer/logex), which prevents other packages to depend on the old golang import path.

golist does not exist as a standalone package in el9, so your patch won't work. It's bundled as part of go-rpm-macros itself and located in %{_libexecdir}/go-rpm-macros/golist. If the macros or go-rpm-integration cannot find the bundled golist (presumably because it's not in $PATH), they need to be patched to do so.

<After some more digging...>

It looks like the maintainers patched go-rpm-integration to use the correct path[1], but not the other invocations[2].

Ha yes, I though the golist was still a separate subpackage and I didn't check the spec for how it was incorporated.

Anyhow I've created a MR thanks to your explaination:

Thanks a lot!
