Well, IMHO reading the bug it just sounds like to me a mistake was made
and the obsoletes/conflicts was not removed as intended: 

+* Sun Nov  4 2012 Jindrich Novy <jnovy at redhat.com> 2012-5-20121024
+- don't conflict with latexmk (#868996)

(but that version didn't change obsoletes/conflicts at all)

I'd suggest instead just mailing jnovy and asking if that was a mistake
and if he could push the correct fix before jumping to conclusions.
