Please clearify what harm owning a directory does. In fact there is zero harm in just owning the directory itself by multiple packages. Looks like there is some misinformation floating around that just a single rpm should own a directory, even if multiple packages own directory entries within that directory.

The libmpg123 part deserves a comment from the submitter, it looks wrong to me.

If I remember right I get/got from time to time update/removal issues due to directories owned by multiple packages. Better safe than sorry.

Such issues appear if one pkg1 owns just /dir/file and pkg2 owns /dir and /dir/file. If pkg2 gets removed before pkg1 then a stale /dir is left behind. Similar issues happen if /dir gets renamed to /some/dir in both pkgs, then /dir will remain depending on the order.

I do not understand what you want from me. It my first package ) I just got spec from pclinuxos and changed it to build in PMBS. There is no so much info where describes process of building package. I made this +%if 0%{?suse_version} == 1310 because package will not build for Factory And +%dir %{_libdir}/qmmp/ and so on because I got error "RPM cannot own directory". So where I should insert this lines %package -n libqmmp%{soname}-plugins; BuildRequires: libqmmp0-plugins?

I tried >= 1310 and package didn't build for Factory, look at my home project.

Add project="Essentials" in Meta

I see, home:quarck links to OBS instead of just Essentials (or Multimedia) Please adjust 'osc meta prj -e' and replace the openSUSE.org.* paths with Essentials Then remove the conditionals from the specfile.
