Mamoru, at least %{_libdir}/epiphany/ and %{_libdir}/epiphany/%{version} _are_
already owned by epiphany and also owning
%{_libdir}/epiphany/%{version}/extensions will _not_ help us here. Imagine
this:
/usr/lib/epiphany
/usr/lib/epiphany/2.22
/usr/lib/epiphany/2.22/extensions/gget.py*

When epiphany gets updated to 2.23 we have:
/usr/lib/epiphany (unowned)
/usr/lib/epiphany/2.22 (unowned)
/usr/lib/epiphany/2.22/extensions/gget.py* (unowned)
/usr/lib/epiphany
/usr/lib/epiphany/2.23
/usr/lib/epiphany/2.23/extensions

The next day the gget update comes:
/usr/lib/epiphany (unowned)
/usr/lib/epiphany/2.22 (unowned)
/usr/lib/epiphany/2.22/extensions (unowned and empty)
/usr/lib/epiphany
/usr/lib/epiphany/2.23
/usr/lib/epiphany/2.23/extensions/gget.py*

The problem is the version number in there.

You are right, there will be no major version update in the stable release. But
the other two problems will remain. We only have the alternatives of
- ether let both packages own the dirs or
- use strictly versioned deps and delay the epiphany update in rawhide because
of them. This is just like the firefox nightmares.

To me the latter is the worst. I'm open to suggestions though, because my gwget
package is also affected. I have been trying to find it's review, but gwget is
one of the former fedora.us packages and I took it over some time ago.

The only solution I can think of: Make epiphany own
%{_libdir}/epiphany/
%{_libdir}/epiphany/plugins
%{_libdir}/epiphany/extensions
%{_libdir}/epiphany/%{version}
%{_libdir}/epiphany/%{version}/plugins -> %{_libdir}/epiphany/plugins
%{_libdir}/epiphany/%{version}/extensions -> %{_libdir}/epiphany/extensions

What do you think, Mamoru?
