This is true. When wireless-tools-28 was released, it caused problems
with NetworkManager and KDENetwork packages, as well as having some
internal conflict with itself causing it to think that
wireless-tools-27 was a dependency.

wireless-tools-28 was then removed from the released packages.

This issue has been discussed several times. Searching the archives
for more information might be helpful. (and should be done before
posting new questions anyhow).
