Thanks for your email. I'm afraid the only way how to "fix this" is to wait 
until we release a completely new depcheck running on Taskotron.

We know that current depcheck utterly fails with packages containing Conflicts 
or Obsoletes flags. Despite these false negatives, it was decided to disable 
bodhi karma automatism for depcheck failures, because it hopefully produces 
more good than bad. So the documentation is correct in the sense that you 
should ignore the error and manually verify whether the package can be 
installed, but we should probably add a note that you need to manually push the 
update to stable in these cases.

Please feel free to adjust the explanation on the wiki, thanks a lot.
