Dependencies resolved.
Problem 1: package smc-kalyani-fonts-6.1-10.fc29.noarch requires
smc-fonts-common = 6.1-10.fc29, but none of the providers can be installed
- package smc-anjalioldlipi-fonts-7.1.1-1.fc29.noarch obsoletes
smc-fonts-common < 6.1-11 provided by smc-fonts-common-6.1-10.fc29.noarch
- cannot install the best update candidate for package
smc-kalyani-fonts-6.1-10.fc29.noarch
- cannot install the best update candidate for package

Problem 2: problem with installed package smc-kalyani-fonts-6.1-10.fc29.noarch
- package smc-kalyani-fonts-6.1-10.fc29.noarch requires smc-fonts-common =
6.1-10.fc29, but none of the providers can be installed
- package smc-dyuthi-fonts-1:3.0.1-1.fc29.noarch obsoletes smc-fonts-common <

- cannot install the best update candidate for package

Nothing to do.
Complete!
In current smc-fonts packaging, there is one spec file which generates 8 binary
(different font family) subpackages. Upstream notified that development has
stopped for Kalyani font. In the new packaging we have one srpm per font family
thus no need of smc-fonts-common subpackage to exist. If Packaging Guidelines
do not allow to Obsolete such package then we need to re-package
smc-kalyani-fonts in its own srpm with older smc-fonts Source and let this
package obsolete smc-fonts-common. There there will be no broken dependency
issue with new smc fonts packaging.
We don't just force-remove packages from systems unless their existence is
going to break something.
Okay then the only working solution is to package smc-kalyani-fonts in its own
srpm and build all these new smc-*-fonts packages in rawhide. Then
smc-kalyani-fonts package can be orphaned.
