It's bit of "pointing finger at others" after breaking this dependency.

jna-contrib "Obsoletes: jna-examples" _without_ version and _without_
the corresponding "Provides: jna-examples = %{version}-%{release}" which
would be appropriate for package change of name.

 => jna-contrib ought to fix that
    *and*
    intellij-idea may switch to requiring jna-contrib whenever it will
    be updated

Forcefully breaking the dependency (as has been done), is just poor style.
