When I split the mail-notification plugin into a main package and a

the new mail-notification-evo-plugin I obsoleted the older
mail-notification package (e.g. the one with the EVR before the split)
and required the new main mail-notification package to be higher then
that EVR (rough explanation, but I suppose you'll get the idea).
That way I didn't need any Conflicts and users that had the
not-yet-split package installed always got the both packages (including
the one that was split off) during a yum upgrade.
When I understand you correctly, this will not work here, because
knm_new-fonts does not require fonts-japanese afaics. And vbetool and
radeontool do not require pm-utils. For pm-utils, it will be the other way
round. The pm-utils evr after the splitup will require vbetool and
radeontool.
