It is also important to provide the archful name, so in addition to the above:
Provides: libnfsidmap%{_isa} = %{version}-%{release}
libnfsidmap currently Provides nfs-utils-lib, so might want to copy
that over too. If it's very old, you can drop it. Just make sure
nothing in the distro still uses it.
Also, libnfsidmap-devel must be similarly obsoleted. It Provides:
libnfsidmap-devel
libnfsidmap-devel%{_isa}
pkgconfig(libnfsidmap)
