Hi!

as others have mentioned, libyui7 intentionally does not obsolete
libyui6. This is so that you are able to have them both used by
different programs/libraries.
For YaST, the requiring component is yast2-ycp-ui-bindings:

# rpm -qia --requires yast2-ycp-ui-bindings
Name        : yast2-ycp-ui-bindings
Version     : 3.1.9
Release     : 1.3
Architecture: x86_64
Install Date: Fri Oct  9 09:53:32 2015
...
libyui.so.7()(64bit)
...

Then on the way down, libyui7.rpm requires 'yui_backend = 7' which
can be fulfilled EITHER by libyui-ncurses7 OR libyui-qt7.

I hope this explains the situation a bit. In the original Factory
post, Kyrill was able to fix the problem once he remembered to query
for "libyui".
