thanks for your comment. Yes it does break these packages. In fact it replaces grib_api and therefore obsoletes its python sub-package. I know this is not the normal way of doing things in EPEL but I think we have no choice. grib_api is end-of-life upstream at the end of this month, and it is only a matter of time before users will get grib files that cannot be decoded anymore by the grib_api library (because the necessary tables are no longer updated).
For gdl eccodes can be used as replacement for the current dependency on grib_api. I suggested a patch to the package to do that and provided a pull request to its maintainer.
Meanwhile, I won't push to stable until these issues are resolved and all interested in it agree.

Good solution. I just wanted to note there need to be other packages fixed with same update.
