As Hedayat Vatankhah pointed out, if the package is called libnfsidmap-
devel, it does not actually need to Provide itself. So the
Obsoletes/Provides should go away entirely.
Obsoletes/Provides are needed if the BINARY package name changes. E.g., if
we had:
%package libnfsidmap-devel
(without the -n), generating a nfs-utils-libnfsidmap-devel subpackage, THEN
it would make sense to Obsolete and Provide libnfsidmap-devel in that
subpackage (NOT in the main package). But since %package -n is used to
recreate the same old package name, there is nothing to Obsolete and Provide
to begin with.
One more caveat: make sure that the ENVR (epoch, name, version and release) of the new libnfsidmap package sorts higher than that of the former standalone package, or else it won't act as a replacement.
