You could have two packages obsoleting each-other. This is,
actually, a real case, as zebra obsoletes gated, and gated obsoletes
zebra. If you did --with-obsoletes every time and had gated
installed, it would be replaced with zebra the next time yum runs.
Then with gated again. Then with zebra. Then with gated. Then with
zebra. Then with gated... :)
