Why was this done? Why not "netpbm10-bin", which then "Provides: netpbm-bin" ?

I agree, and was complaining about this the other day. Identically named packages should be illegal.

'python' has a similar problem. If a user with python21 installs a package which simply depends on 'python' (ie, the package doesn't care what python version is installed), they will currently be forced to install python23!
