Yes, if you install libvirt-cim-0.6.1-4.el6 (which is the version in RHEL6.4),
PG_InterOp would get installed as well.

Since upstream commit 07adabc, the providers registered on installation are
only unregistered on uninstall, not update.

Commit 19ffef8 only fixed this for uninstall -> install, where PG_InterOp gets
unregistered by the old package (without this commit) and the new package
(with the commit) doesn't register it.

On upgrade, the old package leaves it behind.
