Description of problem:
As a result of RPMDiff verification errors (http://errata.devel.redhat.com/rpmdiff/show/29662?result_id=266971) a mkinitrd dep was added to all subpackages as opposed to just the two (libbdevid-python, mkinitrd-devel) referenced in the rpmdiff output.  Net result is that mkinitrd requires nash and nash requires mkinitrd . . . circular dependency which yum/rpm doesn't handle too well.

This situation is made all the more interesting by the corresponding changelog entry:

* Thu Sep 18 2008 Peter Jones <pjones> - 5.1.19.6-32
- Fix some minor stuff rpmdiff found.
  A total lie here:
  Related: rhbz#426992

I.e. a total lie as pointed out by Peter himself.  The problem continues to get worse, as the next round of rpmdiff (http://errata.devel.redhat.com/rpmdiff/show/30083?result_id=271465) highlights the change but all of the changes are waived with:

****

Old Score Before Waive: Needs inspection

This is fine, the new obsoletes is
inclusive of the old one.

Why none of the other changes highlighted are addressed in the waive message I don't know, but it clearly points out that nash has picked up a new dependency.
