Where do you see such a suggestion?
All I've pointed out is that two lines in your spec file are the culprit
and broke the user's system.
1) The gtkhtml38 package "Provides: gtkhtml3 = %version-%release",
and due to that, installing a newer gtkhtml3 EVR _removes_ gtkhtml38.
2) The gtkhtml38-devel package also "Provides: gtkhtml3 = %version-%release",
which is just a typo, but causes the same problem.
Fix RPM if you don't like it. Bug 111071 is where I've reported the
questionable behaviour in rpm after I had found it with "gpgme" and
"gpgme03" at fedora.us. Jeff Johnson's reply: NOTABUG
Have you read that bug yet?
Why do you flame me (also in bug 236009)?
