Well, Seth and co might be able to cook up something clever to work around this situation, but the question is at what cost, as this situation comes to us due to advancements in how yum does things. Unversioned Obsoletes/Provides have been at best "undefined results" for a long time now, and they're finally going to start causing problems. It's not very hard to fix them, I've fixed a number of them within the Fedora package set. They only have to be fixed from the point on where you make this version of yum available. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?
