this is an obsoletes-based removal - which means rpm is doing it.

I installed all of those packages and looked through their obsoletes.
The only package in that list that obsoletes anything is kudzu.

However, the only xml-commons[-api] I could find were 6jpp-7fc, not
6jpp_7

so something might have changed there.
If you could, reinstall your jre and update to the latest xml-commons\*,
please.
