While I agree about it being -devel "and the usual warnings", it's not the point here. It got same name as package from SSU repos, thus overwriting it during update, despite *not* being proper actualization, nor it was meant to. Plain wrong situation. Yea, it's mainly due to lack of common sense on uploader side (sadly, which he got history for :/ ), but also a secutiry hole in repos system.

The later will be probably addressed via Community OBS, but for now, some quick fix is needed.

Will defend marmistrz here. devel is devel. It is for development and testing, people who got this as a constant source and count on it not breaking their system are at their fault. Maybe testing (moving devel to testing) is going too slow for most, or maybe they require constant feel of being bleeding edge... devel should stay devel, fix things elsewhere
