[Fedora TeX Live] texlive-latexmk should Conflict: latexmk (or maybe Obsolete?)

There's already an existing latexmk package in Fedora. If you have
that installed and try to install texlive-latexmk, you get file
conflicts:
Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/bin/latexmk from install of
texlive-latexmk-bin-1:2012-svn10937.0.1.20120510_r26283.noarch
conflicts with file from package latexmk-4.31-1.fc17.noarch
  file /usr/share/man/man1/latexmk.1.gz from install of
texlive-latexmk-1:4.31.svn25851-1.noarch conflicts with file from
package latexmk-4.31-1.fc17.noarch

I think this can be fixed by adding a Conflicts: line to the
texlive-latexmk spec -- then as far as I know, attempting to install
the new one should remove the old one. Or maybe Obsoletes is a better
tag ... regardless, it's broken as it currently stands.

All the best,
