RPM question: how to split an existing package in two?

Per a customer suggestion, I recently separated mysql's client libraries
out of the base "mysql" RPM into a new "mysql-libs" RPM.  I thought this
would be a trivial change, but it seems "yum upgrade" fails to cope:

Would someone slip me a clue on what I did wrong?  I suppose I'm lacking
some specfile directive, but I dunno what...
