That discussion has taken place on the cooker list yesterday. From an
rpm point of view everything is OK. Automake1.6 just has a virtual
provides (like many other package in the distro --> smtpdaemon,
emacs-bin, etc). The thing I'm trying to explain today is not only
related to automake, so please view this in the correct context. Perhaps
it was stupid of me to use automake in the example...

Uh... I'm only using official cooker / contrib / plf packages here... no
hacking on my system :-)

Please try the following:
# rpm -q --whatprovides smtpdaemon
sendmail-8.12.1-4mdk
# urpmi -p --auto smtpdaemon qt2-devel
installing /mirrors/contrib/i586/ssmtp-2.50.3-2mdk.i586.rpm
/mirrors/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/libqt2-devel-2.3.1-29mdk.i586.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
sendmail conflicts with ssmtp-2.50.3-2mdk
Installation failed
What I expect that urpmi will do in this situation is realize that
"smtpdaemon" is provided on the system and continue installing the other
packages. If this doesn't work, then the whole system of "virtual
provides" is flawed with urpmi. OR you'll need to use urpmi to install
packages one by one.
