Description Michael Schwendt 2011-11-24 11:53:14 UTC 
Main package "syslinux" does:

  Obsoletes: syslinux-devel < %{version}-%{release}
  Provides: syslinux-devel

However, a syslinux-devel subpackage definition is present. A -devel package is built. No comment explains above Obs/Prov pair.

%changelog only says:

* Thu Dec 17 2009 Peter Jones … - 3.83-2
- Split out -devel

* Tue Aug 22 2006 Jesse Keating … - 3.11-4
- Obsolete syslinux-devel.
- Couple cleanups for packaging guidelines

* Mon Jun 12 2006 Peter Jones … - 3.11-2
- Fold -devel subpackage into "syslinux"



Just an oversight? Or with undocumented background (such as a noarch<->arch switch)?

*** Bug 809785 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 2 Michael Schwendt 2012-04-18 20:53:51 UTC 
I've verified that the 3.83-2 commit reintroduced the -devel subpkg without removing the Obs/Prov added earlier.

I've committed a fix to Rawhide.
Comment 3 Michael Schwendt 2012-04-18 21:03:49 UTC 
Rawhide build fails, however, due to something unrelated:
