Add virtual "Obsoletes" dependencies to the kernel package

Comment 3 Jon Masters 2008-09-18 11:46:21 UTC
Note, these are not done as numerical versions specifically in order to handle the design of virtual provides. We could also simply add a kernel provides saying "Provides: rhel-kernel: 5.3" for example.
