    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4257?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13438642#comment-13438642 ] 

Lukáš Valach commented on JBDS-4257:
------------------------------------

According to the documentation \[1\], when a package is built by RPM the list of provided packages is generated automatically by default. This behaviour can be disabled using tag "autoprov".

So I have added this line to devstudio.spec.template
{code}
# Disable automatic provision generation 
AutoProv: no
{code}

Then I build RPM and check what the RPM provides
{code}
rpm -qp --provides ./rh-eclipse47-devstudio-11.0-0.20170721.0905.el7.x86_64.rpm 
rh-eclipse47-devstudio = 11.0-0.20170721.0905.el7
rh-eclipse47-devstudio(x86-64) = 11.0-0.20170721.0905.el7
{code}

I tried to install rh-eclipse47 and I see that problem is resolved. Then I installed rh-eclipse47-devstudio and I don't see any problems.

> [~vkadlcik] said that it is because rh-eclipse46-devstudio offers some package which rh-eclipse46 needs, so yum decides to use devstudio as library.
> He said that the best practice for end-user application like rh-eclipse46-devstudio is to have less amount of stuff in "rpm -q --provides". Rh-eclipse46 provides 4 packages, devstudio provides 539 packages.
