The synergy-plus package has reappeared, causing the same obsoleting loop that drew complaints back in 2011. The synergy-plus package obsoletes the synergy package, which in turn obsoletes the synergy-plus package. I thought the original resolution was to remove synergy-plus from repoforge, so I'm not sure why this started showing up again about a month ago.
Here is the message to users from 2011 ( http://lists.repoforge.org/pipermail/users/2011-July/028582.html): *Yury V.

Steve has removed the synergy-plus package from the VCS, but it hasn't been removed from pkgs.repoforge.org, which causes an endless obsoletion loop, because previously synergy-plus used to obsolete synergy before they merged. Could you please remove synergy-plus and trigger metadata re-generation? I would have done that, but you know that I don't have access to the metadata generator. Thanks! -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.
