but not provide oldpac = 1.0 as that would be wrong,
or oldpac = 1.1 as that would cause problems if we rename it back to oldpac.

What problems would that cause?

old:
Name: newpac
Version: 1.1
Provides: oldpac = 1.1
Obsoletes: oldpac <= 1.0

new:
Name: oldpac
Version: 1.1
Provides: newpac = 1.1
Obsoletes: newpac <= 1.1


At some point in time yast didn't catch the update from newpac
to oldpac. You say the new solver now disambiguates this based
on that one obsoletes is <= 1.0 and one is newpac <= 1.1?
