Its hard to make that very precise, but it should mean something like

  Look at the list of provides and verify that all of them are
  intentional. Use repoquery to check if other packages already provide
  the same thing, and if so, look closer. This is generally ok if
  the provides is for a .so that lives outside of LIBDIR, otherwise
  it indicates a potential problem.
