Ok. I just check the SPEC file and can see why. The line that says
"Provides:" should be changed so that the packages it obsoletes are shown
in a line that has, "Obsoletes:" and then lists the package names. If you
make that change then the resulting package should install and
automatically remove the obsoleted packages.
