[packman] Request deletion of two legacy packages in Multimedia (was: Re: Kodi still needs an older version of spdlog, but current glibc breaks it)

[Manfred Hollstein]

Hi there,

this is for the planned update of Kodi to version 19.4.

The two packages were needed when Kodi couldn't be built with the
packages provided by openSUSE_Tumbleweed.
Current testing has shown that the new Kodi version 19.4 can be built
successfully using the packages provided by TW.  This can be seen in my
home repo at
  <https://pmbs.links2linux.org/package/show/home:manfred.h/kodi>

Can someone please approve the following two delete requests?

  <https://pmbs.links2linux.org/request/show/5528>
  <https://pmbs.links2linux.org/request/show/5527>

TIA, cheers.
