Hiyas,

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Conflicts says:

| If you find yourself in a situation where you feel that your package has to
| conflict with another package (either explicitly or implicitly), but does
| not fit the documented accepted cases above, then you need to make your case
| to the Fedora Packaging Committee.

I guess here is such a case:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=266261

knm_new-fonts was split up from fonts-japanese, therefore it conflicts with an 
older version for fonts-japanese. I have also two review requests (vbetool 
and radeontool), that are splitups from pm-utils, do they need to conflict 
with the old version of pm-utils, too?

Regards,
Till
