Or fix the package to not use a tilde in provides :)
This is an automatic provides from the version in pkg-config file
Then why not use
define _provides_exceptions
This provides is correct and may be used by other packages, I see no
reason to remove it
Old rpm accepts it
New rpm accepts it and handles it slightly better
I don't really see a reason to forbid installing the package with an
old version rpm if it was built with the new rpm given that the
produced rpm is exactly the same apart from this added
rpmlib(TildeInVersions) fake dependency and it would work perfectly
fine without it.
AFAICT a Requires: pkgconfig(ftgl) < 2.1.3 will be rejected by old rpm but
matched by new rpm. We may need to backport this feature.
