This report does nothing except document the existence.
that's how it starts. i had no other ideas than Conflicting-Itself causes loop, and included that output into the report

There are too may possible causes to hazard a guess, including
a well documented difference in behavior detected by Mancoosi years
ago, and also identifying precisely what metadata (and
what rpm version was used to build all the packages).
to supply this information, i must know what to supply, thus somebody should first tell what is needed!

rpm that was used to install package, was included in report. how do i figure out rpm version used to build package? guess? or is it in metadata?
rpm -qp --yaml, did not give match on "5.4"

i've put the exact rpm online:
http://carme.pld-linux.org/~glen/ntpd-4.2.6p5-5.i686.rpm

or just rebuild with known version and hope it to be fixed by latter patches?

ps: i have no idea who is mancoosi, or what he identified, you should had provided link to that, not assume everybody knows your friends
Diagnosis starts with adding "debug" to the Conflictname
and Packages macro stanzas in /usr/lib/rpm/macro configuration
in orde to see exactly what database requests are being performed.
there's no exact macro named "Conflictname" or such file, closes i find was this:

/usr/lib/rpm/macros:%_dbi_config_3_Conflictname %{_dbi_btconfig} %{?_bt_dupsort}

you mean add there word "debug", like this?

/usr/lib/rpm/macros:%_dbi_config_3_Conflictname %{_dbi_btconfig} %{?_bt_dupsort} debug

FYI: As a member @rpm5.org you *are* expected to know
how to diagnose problems with RPM. *shrug*
and you as a maintainer of @rpm5.org should know, i haven't been active there for some years!
