I recently updated to OSUpdate-1.0.  I assumed that I wouldn't need to
install any of the patches which were listed as being made obsolete by this
update, but was confused that two of them were indicated as being
prerequisites (as well as being obsolete).  I asked on this list for advice,
but didn't receive any replies. I was particularly reluctant to install the
(obsolete?) 24MB RaQ4-All-Security-0.0.1-8061 update if it were unnecessary,
but it seems that it was (I couldn't install the OS Update without it as it
turned out).  Were the two prerequisites listed incorrectly as being
obsolete?  Am I missing some distinction between update/fix/patch or
something more obvious?
