Obsoletes in fedora don't work like that. Obsoletes aren't about 'this pkg
is better than this other one'. It's about 'we have removed or renamed this
other package, this is what you will need to continue using (and/or stay
secure) for this feature'.
-sv
I didn't know that. I thought yum was trying to install packages that
"should be installed with ***" in order to increase the
*functionality*. I'll reconsider enabling obsoletes.
