This is plain weird. It seems to me that someone could create a package with a bogus "Provides: glibc" which was otherwise uninstallable and bring the whole distribution to a halt. Is there not a way to say "I do _not_ want this package, whatever that package may claim about its provides"?

rel-eng can block ocaml-lablgl from dist-f8 I think.
If not, it can be worked around with a dummy-build (i.e. build an empty ocaml-lablgl update without any BR ocaml*).
And yes, one can break the buildroot with such Provides as you mention.

Don't understand you here. For ocaml-lablgl certainly a clean work-around would be to replace it with a dummy update temporarily, so subsequent build jobs don't fail due to broken deps. Then a build of a new ocaml-lablgl update would not fail either.
Staying at the topic, does anybody have a quick clue where these
Provides: python Provides: ... Provides: perl Provides: gpg
come from? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/278181

I think what might be best here is to just untag the improperly built package, and replacing it with an older version. Can you send mail to 'rel-eng@fedoraproject.org' with what build needs to "go away" and which build should take it's place? It's just a simple case of buildroot maintenance.

I think the easiest thing is going to be if rel-eng could just delete ocaml-lablgl & ocaml-lablgl-devel from the buildroot (and any dependencies: possibly ocaml-lablgtk, freetennis if they are there too).
The ocaml-lablgl package which is in there at the moment has a collection of bogus "Provides" which are actually provided by the base ocaml-runtime package. AIUI because strlen ("ocaml-labgl") < strlen ("ocaml-runtime"), the bogus package "wins".
That will allow me to rebuild all the other ocaml packages, which have been failing for over a week now, and then we can look at why it was that ocaml-lablgl got the wrong "Provides". There must be a problem with the custom ocaml-find-provides.sh script that we use, but to be honest I've never seen it fail this way at any other time so I'm not sure what happened.
