It does not look likely I can use them, what I would need is something
like "if packagex is installed then don't install packagey". Triggers
apparently "trigger" in one package when there are rpm changes in
another which is not what happens when I install planetccrma-apps. 

The only thing I did come up with so far is having a
"planetccrma-apps-livna" package that does the right thing if you have
installed something incompatible with the original apps.
