I'm sure we are technically allowed to have _ in the version tag, but I think
we don't want to do that. Keeping the version at 2.6 is fine. Another option
would be to set version to 2.6.1 to take into account the _1, but it doesn't
matter much either way.

Aha, I guess that works for now.

Yes, qtlockedfile-devel owns the directory, but that doesn't help us because
qtsingleapplication-devel doesn't depend on qtlockedfile-devel. The directory
needs to be owned by something in the dependency chain; if some other unrelated
leaf package somewhere in the Fedora package collection owns the directory, it
doesn't help us solve the problem here.

There are a few options how to solve this:
a) have both packages own the directory;
b) have qtsingleapplication-devel depend on qtlockedfile-devel;
c) let qt-devel own the directory.

Option b is not a good one because it pulls in an unrelated package which we
wouldn't normally need.

Option a is what I think is the most correct approach here:
