  - handle blocks carefully. Put blocks only in RDEPEND section and comment the reason for the block.
    Block, if possible should contain specific version for the blocker. Below are most typical
    scenarios for kde-base/ related blocks, your should use this as a pattern, unless you know what you're doing.
