Questionable. And deserving a comment in the spec file at least.
First of all, grib_api is way above 1.18.0 already, so one would like to know
whether this package really _replaces_ all of that.
Secondly, if replacing a package, while the Obsoletes tag is correct and
needed, one must be careful about whether/when to add the Provides tag. Only if
the new package is compatible enough as a replacement, adding the Provides tag
makes sense. Only then something that BuildRequires grib_api-devel would work
if eccodes-devel is pulled in as the replacement package. That's mentioned
here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages
Since basic files, such as the pkg-config files, have been renamed, the
replacement package is _not_ compatible enough.
