This is a bug in yum 2.2.x because it's not processing the Obsoletes 
correctly. For now, do this manually first:

$ yum install python24-optik

Then, things will work from now on.

I took Provides: python-optik out of python23, because I don't feel it's 
appropriately assigned especially in systems that have multiple 
python's installed.  I've also upgraded optik = 1.5 from their sf.net 
website; so it's upgrade path will now be directed through 
python24-optik.

My current thinking is to get all distributions upgraded to yum 2.4.x to 
alleviate future problems in this regard.
