Then I still don't understand this. openvrml-devel went away between
F12 and F12-updates.

Yes, I missed that and consequently left some important information out
of my quote. But I'm not clear on why it doesn't matter that
openvrml-0.18.3-10 is currently in F12 updates.
So what exactly is the upgrade path that's being tested and failing
here?

That's not quite accurate. openvrml-devel was killed between F12 (not
updated) and F13. It was replaced by libopenvrml-devel;
libopenvrml-devel already Obsoletes: openvrml-devel.
These changes that are in F13 are also in F12 updates.

I can do this; but I don't understand why the existence of
libopenvrml-devel and its "Obsoletes: openvrml-devel" aren't sufficient.
