Accidental conflicting packages: python mysql client

[Richard Shaw]

There's a python-mysql and python-mysqlclient packages and it's been an
issue for a while but now causing upgrade issues.

Can we get some help in BZ:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1929101

Please make sure I have not mis-spoken.

Thanks,
Richard

Yes, Obsoletes/Provides should be added. This can (and should) be done
even in released Fedora (36, 37), and then the old package retired.
Since this is causing problems during upgrade paths, it'd be great to
do this quickly.

Please let me know if you need some provenpackager help.

I'm PP as well, but it looked like the package owners were somewhat
involved in the BZ ticket so I was hesitant to interfere, but that hasn't
led to action as of yet...
