That's funny :) I never thought this could happen when I added those
conflict/provide statements. I think this is a yum/rpm bug as a package
should never conflict with itself.

And there is a good reason for me to add the Conflict: pine. I'll remove
the Conflict and let the conflict happen on the file-level instead of on
the package level.

Thanks for reporting.
