Description of problem: The lvm2 package in rhel4 obsoletes lvm < 1.0.3-19. But lvm that ships with rhel3 is lvm 1.0.8. so that eventhough lvm2 owns some of the same files as lvm it cannot obsolete lvm. All that's really needed is an update to this version string and/or to turn the flag around so it is > rather than <.
The lvm package was changed in Fedora 1.0.3-19 so it could co-exist with lvm2 to assist people switching between 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. Subsequently that change was taken out of the lvm package but it seems the headers in the lvm2 spec file were not updated to reflect that. I've removed the condition now the two aren't allowed to co-exist.
