If RPM in the build environment is a version that obsoletes packages

some-low-version", the "db4" packages with a higher version upgrades
compat-db. Some background can be found here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/111071 It has effected multiple packages
since FC =~ 1
Recently, Panu has mentioned that this "feature" in RPM will go away
in a future release of RPM. But until then, don't use such virtual
provides. They break.
Yes, in this case the automatic library provides in the compat-db
package should be well enough to satisfy anything that /needs/ the
older libraries to function.
