I dunno. On the one hand I could probably graft something in to the
_compare_providers() check to make this work out.

Pete,
 Do me a favor and on a duplicating case output with -d9, again. I need
to see the output from this section of code:

            for obs in po.obsoletes:
                if bestpkg.inPrcoRange('provides', obs):
                    # make sure the best doesn't obsolete this po - if
it does we're done
                    # we do this b/c it is possible for two entries to
oscillate in this
                    # test - obsolete should trump no matter what
                    # NOTE: mutually obsoleting providers is completely
and utterly doom
                    # but this should 'break the loop'
                    for obs in bestpkg.obsoletes:
                        if po.inPrcoRange('provides', obs):

self.verbose_logger.log(logginglevels.DEBUG_4,
                                _("best %s obsoletes po: %s") %(bestpkg,
po))
                            return bestpkg
                    self.verbose_logger.log(logginglevels.DEBUG_4,
                        _("po %s obsoletes best: %s") %(po, bestpkg))
                           
                    return po

            # just check if best obsoletes po
            for obs in bestpkg.obsoletes:
                if po.inPrcoRange('provides', obs):
                    self.verbose_logger.log(logginglevels.DEBUG_4,
                        _("best %s obsoletes po: %s") %(bestpkg, po))
                    return bestpkg

I want to see which one it is tripping against

thanks,
