I'd use the correct name and add Provides with what's in Fedora to be removed when Fedora package is renamed. I don't see a good reason not to do it properly when you have a chance. Dropping Provides: is easier than package renaming. Regards, Dominik -- Fedora https://getfedora.org | RPM Fusion http://rpmfusion.org There should be a science of discontent.
