what is "should work" ? ;)

if each kernel-headers provides kernel-i2c-devel and other one obsoletes, 
surely it would be marked as removed.

for the resolution i suggest removing 'Provides:   kernel-i2c-devel' so other 
package Obsolete: wouldn't mark (all!) kernel-headers packages

did you use poldek (like me) or rpm to install (-i) or rpm upgrade (-U)?
