Steps to Reproduce:

See above.

Actual results:

Replacement for base RHEL package offered in EPEL.

Expected results:

Nothing in EPEL replacing a base RHEL package.

Additional info:

This appears to be a weird case for the no replacement policy in EPEL since libgpod is available for RHEL7 Workstation and Client but not for Server. So I guess I could see an argument either way about including it in EPEL but these conflicts are frustrating when the end user of EPEL expects there to be no conflicts.

The koji build root uses the Server. If I retire this package it will then break the dependencies.

Also you need to consider that there is some mono bindings which are not in either the Workstation/Client (which is provided by this package).
