Answering that in the %changelog comment would have been a great idea. Pkgdb does not reflect the obsolete state of that package: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/mate-dialogs/ It is not retired in dist git either: http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/mate-dialogs -> http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mate-dialogs.git -> http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mate-dialogs.git/tree/ Plenty of "Obsoletes" tags that are non-versioned, which is a packaging mistake, because non-versioned Obsoletes names cannot be reintroduced: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mate-desktop.git/plain/mate-desktop.spec https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
