[opensuse-packaging] Special Font package provides

Hi, sr#147459 removes several provides from the font package ipa-bolditalic-fonts. I can see that such provides are mentioned as "recommended" but not explained in the Fonts packaging policy [1]. Are these actually used somewhere, rpm tells me I don't have packages requiring such provides. Either way, please update the Fonts packaging policy accordingly.

Are you talking about "Provides: scalable-font-X"? Sorry, I also cannot remind where it is required. "Provides: locale(X)" is used to install a locale and used for many packages other than fonts. For example, a package with "Provides: locale(ja)" is installed when we change system locale to Japanese. (2013/01/08 17:52), Sascha Peilicke wrote:
