It is a problem whenever a package obsoletes another package and that or
it's name is in other repos as well.

Sure, I can do this, but I have to do this without protectbase, anyway.

But the whole point of protectbase is that it *protects*, isn't it? I mean
in my eyes "protect" means "protect" against replacement by another repo
by whatever means. I don't care if it updates, obsoletes or whatever. Why
should "obsoletes" be handled different?
