apel has just been renamed to emacs-apel because of the naming guidelines. the above packages has to be rebuilt against emacs-apel instead of apel.
When renaming a package you would normally add a good Obsoletes/Provides pair for the old name and drop that only after an appropriate period of time (e.g. 2-3 dist releases). Has that been done for "apel"?
$ repoquery --whatprovides apel apel-0:10.7-4.fc12.noarch emacs-apel-0:10.8-1.fc14.noarch apel-0:10.7-4.fc12.noarch
What do the other packages require a specific VR of apel? Is that necessary or just too strict?
Well, I just checked one example and http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=2376622 says that emacs-w3m has just "Requires: apel" and does not have such strict version-specific dependency.
