Well, k3b-codecs has never been provided by openSUSE, only Packman.
And Packman (mostly) always provided a newer version of k3b, so I decided to 
go with an unconditional Obsoletes...

On second thoughts though, it may be a good idea to still provide those codecs 
(libmad and lame) in the additional k3b-codecs package. (ffmpeg is and will 
stay in the main package now of course)
So that people only need to install k3b-codecs from Packman, and not switch 
the k3b package itself?

Opinions are welcome.

Thanks.

I agree. Like for other packages.
That's the better way IMHO.

The current state has been to come from a disagreement between the openSUSE 
maintainers and the Packman maintainer I think (though I was not personally 
involved).

Btw, wasn't there a similar case with vlc a few months ago? ;-)

Kind Regards,
