There appears to be a cyclical set of obsoleting synergy packages in the
repository. Yum continually wants to update synergy with synergy-plus
even though synergy is now newer. When you run yum a second time, it
replaces synergy with synergy-plus.

Hi Dag!

Steve has removed the synergy-plus package from the VCS, but it hasn't
been removed from pkgs.repoforge.org, which causes an endless obsoletion
loop, because previously synergy-plus used to obsolete synergy before
they merged.

Could you please remove synergy-plus and trigger metadata re-generation?
I would have done that, but you know that I don't have access to the
metadata generator.

Thanks!
