Flavio,
I was hoping you would have time to check this patch?
Thanks,

Hi Flavio,
I remember when we had a discussion about package "succession" when I had
the "Obsoletes" tag added in one of the previous patches submitted for the
fedora spec files.
We do need the capability for the system to know openvswitch-kmod is
automatically upgrading kmod-openvswitch. For some reason, I thought I
tested "Provides" alone would suffice. I just tried again and it seems not
the case. "Provides" does not make the renamed package automatically
upgrade the older one. Is there any other ways of doing this? I found one
suggestion from the fedora site, that uses both "Provides" and "Obsoletes."
I understand this means we will be declaring openvswitch-kmod is being
replaced. We can't go either way anymore. Is there a better solution?
Thanks.
Martin

This patch removes the "Conflicts" tag and adds "Obsoletes" tag.
With the conflicts tag, when a user attempts to install or upgrade with
the same version as already installed, the conflict kicks in. Otherwise,
such is allowed with --replacepkgs.
Obsoletes is needed for the upgrade path from kmod-openvswitch to
openvswitch-kmod.
