[Packaging bug] Each Patchmanager2 version should be installable only on the SFOS version(s) its built-in Patch is applicable to #22

IMO, each Patchmanager2 version should be only installable (by regular means) on the SailfishOS version(s) its built-in Patch "Unapply all patches on update" is applicable to. Otherwise (as currently the case), users cannot apply this built-in Patch and have to take care about unapplying all Patches manually, when updating SailfishOS. This implicitly leads to a bad user experience and "accidents" due to still applied Patches while updating SailfishOS! NB: Experienced users can always manually install any version of Patchmanager2 with rpm -ihv --force

Tested with Patchmanager 2.3.3-10.41.1.jolla (installs flawlessly, but built-in Patch fails to apply, as it is only for SFOS 2.1.1.24 / 2.1.1.26), 2.3.2-10.40.1.jolla (installs flawlessly, but built-in Patch fails to apply, as it is only for SFOS 2.1.1.23) and 2.3.1-10.39.1.jolla (installs and built-in Patch is applicable: O.K.) on a Jolla 1 phone under SFOS 2.1.0.11 Expected result: Patchmanager 2.3.3-10.41.1.jolla and 2.3.2-10.40.1.jolla fails to install (easily, i.e. without rpm --force) under SailfishOS 2.1.0.11

Hence please fix this packaging issue in future releases of Patchmanager2.

Current maintainership does not do changes on PM2 at this time. Closing wontfix.

Well, this might be of relevance for @elros34's PM2-forever.

Furthermore version / dependency management of Patchmanager and patches for Patchmanager in general is still not well solved. I will start a discussion thread for this.
