Bug 674171

These are the packages that are obsolete:
cairo-spice-1.8.7.1-4.el6 (+ devel)
ffmpeg-spice-0.4.9-0.15.5spice.20080908.el6 ( + devel + libs)
pixman-spice-0.13.3-5.el6 ( + devel )
spice-common-0.4.2-7.el6  ( + devel )

Should be done for spice-client as well.

Verified on spice-server-0.8.0-1.el6.src.rpm

Obsoletes: cairo-spice < 1.8.7.2
Obsoletes: cairo-spice-devel < 1.8.7.2
Obsoletes: cairo-spice-debuginfo < 1.8.7.2
Obsoletes: ffmpeg-spice < 0.4.9-1
Obsoletes: ffmpeg-spice-devel < 0.4.9-1
Obsoletes: ffmpeg-spice-libs < 0.4.9-1
Obsoletes: ffmpeg-spice-debuginfo < 0.4.9-1
Obsoletes: pixman-spice < 0.13.3-6
Obsoletes: pixman-spice-devel < 0.13.3-6
Obsoletes: pixman-spice-debuginfo < 0.13.3-6
Obsoletes: spice-common < 0.4.2-8
Obsoletes: spice-common-devel < 0.4.2-8

Based on IRC conversation, I suggest we not add these Obsoletes.  The Obsoletes tag should be reserved for cases where a package is renamed or where one package is replacing another.  In this situation, we just have packages that are no longer needed, but keeping them around won't break the system.  Bill, do you agree?

Assuming they don't conflict, and won't conflict with future packages, it's probably OK to leave them around.
