If you look at the upstream site:
http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/packages.html

it says that the elldata package requires "PARI/GP 2.2.11 and up", or in other
words, it's not compatible with earlier versions of pari. I can't add a
"Requires:" for this version as that would create a circular build dependency
(I want to be able to use this data package in pari's %check), so the conflict
seems to be the best way of expressing this relationship.
