A new rpm (15mdk) has been uploaded, and such behaviour has no more effects in fact. Now obsoletes only affect *real* name of package and no more provides, this means there will be no more strange package being removed (arts or kdebase) without notice. A new perl-URPM is being done to handle this new obsoletes behaviour (as perl-URPM was trying to follow rpm bugs, which of course was relatively hard to follow correctly). Fran�ois.
