Wrong, look at the removal list again.
pygtk-0.6.9-6mdk (due to conflicts with pygtk[< 0.6.11])
This causes the other pkg removals.
It is caused by the fact that pygtk < 0.6.11 and pygtk2 are not parallel
installable.
With PyGTK-2 and PyGTK-0.x installed and using the same version of
Python, the applications that required PyGTK-0.x would stop working.
This happened because Python would import PyGTK-2 preferentially, and
the names of the modules are the same: 'gtk'.
This issue has been resolved in pygtk=0.6.11 which is currently in
cooker and will be avaiable in 9.2.
You could dl and rebuild the src rpm from cooker but that will also
entail rebuilding all currently installed pkgs which require gtk.
