The problem is that pion-net does not build on F24+, which stops us from pushing update on F24 which would not break dependencies. There is an older build of pion-net in F24 from times when it was building just fine.

Actually it is the other way around. The orphaned package pion-net depends on log4cplus. I'm not interested in taking ownership of the pion-net and actually retiring if from F24 works for me.

log4cplus works as expected and is not broken, nor any of its dependencies. Only the one package which depends ON log4cplus.
