The usual fix for such conflicting packages is to update each with an
"Obsoletes" that refers to specific releases.

In the synergy.spec file, one could put:

           Obsoletes: synergy-plus <= 1.0
           Conflicts: synergy-plus

In synergy-plus.spec file, you put:

          Obsoletes: synergy <= 2.0
          Conflicts: synergy

I went through this some years back with ecj and RHEL published
renames of various packages.
