We really should clean these up. While it is possible to have multiple
packages provide the same component, in practice, it should be treated
as a conflict.

For your testing, I would look at what packages were used in the
buildroot when the dependent package was built.

Btw, the php-cli/readline issue has been addressed in F11+ (F10 is EOL
shortly, so I didn't bother there). It now links to libedit instead.
