So we just get more and more and more libs forever? Is this why I have
to keep manually uninstalling libfoo18-devel packages whenever I need to
-Uvh libfoo19-devel? Surely something more elegant can be conceived.

I ask because something else refused to install because it needed the
newer libwmf (which was also installed), but kept seeing the older
version and refusing to install. I wish for the life of me that I
remembered which package(s) this was, but I didn't make a note at the
time.
