It seems to me that someone could create a package with a bogus "Provides: glibc" which was otherwise uninstallable and bring the whole distribution to a halt. Is there not a way to say "I do _not_ want this package, whatever that package may claim about its provides"?I think what might be best here is to just untag the improperly built package, and replacing it with an older version. Can you send mail to 'rel-eng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' with what build needs to "go away" and which build should take it's place? It's just a simple case of buildroot maintenance.
I think the easiest thing is going to be if rel-eng could just delete ocaml-lablgl & ocaml-lablgl-devel from the buildroot (and any dependencies: possibly ocaml-lablgtk, freetennis if they are there too).
The ocaml-lablgl package which is in there at the moment has a collection of bogus "Provides" which are actually provided by the base ocaml-runtime package. AIUI because strlen ("ocaml-labgl") < strlen ("ocaml-runtime"), the bogus package "wins".
That will allow me to rebuild all the other ocaml packages, which have been failing for over a week now, and then we can look at why it was that ocaml-lablgl got the wrong "Provides". There must be a problem with the custom ocaml-find-provides.sh script that we use, but to be honest I've never seen it fail this way at any other time so I'm not sure what happened.
