Yes, messing around with the provides and obsoletes is only a
workaround and no fix. We should also keep in mind that this must be a
bug in rpm. If both openjade and docbook-utils provide and obsolete
sgml-tools, this doesn't mean they obsolete each other. Both package
obsolete only one part of the provides of the other package, that's
why I think it is a rpm bug. It would be nice if someone could test
this on a RH9 machine, maybe it's an upstream bug.
