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.
