I did limited testing of the obsoletes and it seems to work as expected for what I wanted ie: yum upgrade foo\* that will replace anything matching foo\* with the first item that obsoletes it - if there are any. otherwise it will update anything matching foo\* In that order - obsoletes happen first. -sv
