Hi, Spot,
Thanks for the note! I don't yet know how to "look at what packages
were used in the buildroot," but I'll try to figure that out.
Meanwhile here's my best guess at resolving these:

We really should clean these up. While it is possible to have multiple
packages provide the same component, in practice, it should be treated
as a conflict.
For your testing, I would look at what packages were used in the
buildroot when the dependent package was built.
Btw, the php-cli/readline issue has been addressed in F11+ (F10 is EOL
shortly, so I didn't bother there). It now links to libedit instead.
