Comment # 6 on bug 1047291 from Marcus Schaefer

Thanks for the change, but the spec file in kiwi is generated from this
template:
https://github.com/SUSE/kiwi/blob/master/package/python-kiwi-spec-template,
thus I can't do much with the obs request. Would you mind to apply the change
as a github pull request ?

Other than that I'm still confused why kiwi-tools in different major versions
can't be provided by different packages ? The latest version in the resolver
chain is picked up by zypper without any conflict.

The kiwi-tools version provided by python-kiwi is compatible with the kiwi(v7)
version. The kiwi-tools from kiwi(v7) is however not compatible with the next
generation python-kiwi package. It would be a mistake of python-kiwi to not
provide the tools it needs

If this must be changed for whatever reason I'm ok with changing it in the
kiwi(v7) spec file but not in the actively developed successor. Not providing
the code of kiwi-tools in the active development stream doesn't make sense to
me
