This package seems to have been rushed through the review process
just like a few others recently. :-/

The duplication of libs and files is even worse (but my checker only
looks at Provides so far).

If I wanted to link with libmatedict, currently I can either

  BuildRequires: mate-dictionary-devel

or

  BuildRequires: mate-utils-devel

and even the pkgconfig file is duplicated. Actually, the two
-devel package contents don't differ at all:

mate-utils-devel
  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=4317455
mate-dictionary-devel
  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=4317456
