I notice that python2-2.7.18-2 and later drop the 'obsoletes: python' 
which python2-2.7.18-1 and earlier had.

This isn't right, as there's nothing in calm which memorizes that it's 
seen that (nor should there be), so that obsoletes: doesn't effect later 
packages, and will be forgotten when the last package containing it is 
expired.

Here's a list of packages which seem to have this error (assuming the 
referenced package isn't being un-obsoleted).  I'll look at fixing these 
on sourceware, but in future, please don't do this in these or other 
packages.
