      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Build createrepo_c 1.0

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      Any version since RHEL 9.0

      How reproducible: 100%

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Attempt to build createrepo_c 1.0.

      https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c/pull/342#issuecomment-1667355328

      It will break because of a misplaced macro defining GLib 2.70 whereas RHEL 9 actually uses GLib 2.68

      The macro was backported by mistake in this MR https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/glib2/-/merge_requests/14#note_1601039317

      Expected results

      Should build successfully

      Actual results

      Fails due to mistaken expectations around what version of GLib2 is being presented, due to the incorrect macro definition
