And this is recomended way to do it. I guess the conflicts happen when the LICENSE file changes between builds and individual subpackages that ship it aren't updated in lock step. Often there is a full NVR version requirement that locks individual subpackages together, but not in this case. If people for example download just one of the subpackages from koji (and not the other), it can lead to only one of them getting updated. License from subpackage goes to different directory. See: $ rpm -qf /usr/share/licenses/llvm/LICENSE.TXT llvm-17.0.2-1.fc39.x86_64 $ rpm -qf /usr/share/licenses/llvm-libs/LICENSE.TXT llvm-libs-17.0.2-1.fc39.x86_64 llvm-libs-17.0.2-1.fc39.i686 so license from llvm and llvm-libs should not never conflicts because the file goes to different directory. What can conflict is multilib packages in different version with different content of the file.
