Through implicit requires kannel requires, e.g., libsqlite2.so.0. When
you upgrade from FC3 to FC4 it tries to replace the sqlite package,
removing this file and replacing it with, e.g., libsqlite3.so.0.
Obviously it *can't* remove the original package, so it can't install
the new one. This then cascades up through python-sqlite and then to
yum.

While yes, it will be solved by the first 'yum update' that happens
(assuming the maintainers get themselves in gear and switch to
sqlite2...), if this situation is avoidable with 10 minutes of work then
why even have the user encounter it at all?
