Sorry, I forgot to mention that dvb-apps also contains other content,
such as programs and libs, therefore it will continue to exist. As far
as I understand, Obsoletes would cause dvb-apps to be removed when
dtc-scan-tables is installed. The condition is more: If dtv-scan-tables
is installed, then dvb-apps must not be installed or it must be
installed with at least a certain version/release.
