Hey,

I have a subpackage which is not needed anymore in the new version of the 
package. Is my assumption correct that for a smooth upgrade path I should 
simply delete the subpackage and make the main package to obsolete it:

Obsoletes: %{name}-gtk2
Provides: %{name}-gtk2

Looks like rpmlint wants me to add version, I can do that.

Correct, with version. Ude a dynamic version with provides, static with 
obsoletes:

Obsoletes: %{name}-gtk2 < 1:12.5-8
Provides: %{name}-gtk2 = %{?epoch:%{epoch}:}%{version}-%{release}
