Thanks.
But this still triggers the zypper dup problem. To make ir clearer I
attach the patch I propose
- The "<=" from Obsoletes are changed to "<" following the advice from
http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrade_Dependencies#Renaming_a_package
- I change "1.0.17" for "%{version}" since it can also update a
libsndfile-progs 1.0.18/19 from, perhaps, openSUSE 11.2 when is
released.
- The libsnd* names aren't used in any supported openSUSE version, so
can be removed.
- The "Provides:	libsndfile:%{_libdir}/libsndfile.so.1" is for a
package split that doesn't exists (from any openSUSE supported
version), so can also be removed.

Also note that octave has been dropped from Factory, now lives in
Contrib. Not sure about the Packman policy about on which repos
packages can depend...
