libreofficekit 7.0.1.2-alt2:sisyphus+259887.100.1.2@1602681375

That is, two packages provide a shared library that is not used by other packages.

$ rpmsodiff \
  Sisyphus/files/x86_64/RPMS/libreofficekit-still-6.4.7.2-alt1.x86_64.rpm \
  Sisyphus/files/x86_64/RPMS/libreofficekit-7.0.1.2-alt2.x86_64.rpm |\
  grep symbols
    13 symbols removed
    1 symbols added
    18 symbols changed

That is, these two libraries have incompatible ABIs.

I suggest to stop this practice, e.g. by filtering out liblibreofficekitgtk.so from autogenerated provides.
