workaround for 116299? ("Obsoletes:" problem in rpm)

[Fernando Pablo Lopez-Lezcano]

Hi all... anyone has any idea on how I could work around bug 116299?
(see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116299)

Basically (in FC1), in certain instances the "Obsoletes:" tag is being
ignored by rpm in such a way that I cannot change the naming of a
package (ie: if I try to install the new package, which "Obsoletes:"
another older package with almost the same contents but a different
name, the rpm process fails with a "conflicting files" message instead
of replacing the old package with the new one). 

Maybe I'm making some packaging mistake, but the exact same thing works
fine in RedHat 7.3/8.0/9...
