This ticket is misfiled. You need to query the package to find out what its src.rpm name is. For example with "rpm -qi gnome-python2-evince". The bugzilla component name is the same as the src.rpm name: gnome-python2-desktop The -evince subpackage has been disabled on "Tue Jul 27 2010" by AdamW. There is no related Fedora policy to add "Obsoletes" tags to some garbage collector meta package for all (sub-)packages which are removed from the distribution. During distribution upgrades, you may need to remove such obsolete (sub-)packages manually. Fedora 15 and 16 don't include the -evince package anymore: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=332
FWIW, the evince subpackage isn't obsoleted because, in theory, it might come back. Though I think perhaps object introspection might've changed that, and there's won't really be a gnome-python2 once everything's ported to the Brave New World. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
"Obsoletes" typically are versioned, so they don't block a package from coming back with a higher V-R.
