Details

Description:
Actually, all the jack2* packages provides jack* without specify the version provided.
This may be a problem when some package depends on jack* by specifying a version.

Ex.
installed: jack2 (that provides unversioned jack)
exampleapp depends on jack>=0.121.0
Installing exampleapp would request jack2 to be replaced by jack, that is wrong.

Specifying provides=("jack=$pkgver" "jack..=$pkgver" ..)
for all jack2* packages instead, would solve.


Additional info:
* package afflicted : jack2{-dbus,}{-multilib,}
* package version(s): 1.9.8-1


Steps to reproduce:
Install jack2, then install some package depending on jack>=0.x.x
This task depends upon

For anyone in the future: We discussed and realized that we don't really need something like this, since we don't really like versioned deps, since arch provides the latest, we version only for things like rebuilds / last supported iso / gcc etc.
