Could you explain (preferably with a full list of bugs) what you were
trying to solve with the conflicts line in the spec file?  The only
bugs I've seen so far describe problems in grubby, and this appears to
be a workaround for them.  However it may be I don't have the full

Since you starting swearing at me on IRC, I thought it better that we
discuss this in technical terms, and mailing lists are in any case a
better forum for technical discussions than chat.
