FYI: kdevelop 5.3.2 has been released today. I removed the %requires_eq, and added a Requires: clangX (corresponding to the libclangX-devel that's used for building) now: Requires: clang%(rpm -q --qf '%''{version}' clang-devel | cut -d. -f1) (inspired by what we have in the libqt5-creator package...) That should be safe enough I hope, and should also allow you to install a newer clang from 3rd party repos. https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/682480
