RPM Obsoletes don't work like I want them to

[Paul Johnson]

Currently I have the rpms for java development kit from openjdk.
Package names are like so:

# rpm -qa | grep openjdk
java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-1.7.b09.el5
java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.7.b09.el5

I want to replace those with RPMS built from the Sun JDK, and those
rpms have names like:

java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm
java-1.6.0-sun-alsa-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm
java-1.6.0-sun-demo-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm
java-1.6.0-sun-devel-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm
java-1.6.0-sun-fonts-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm
java-1.6.0-sun-jdbc-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm
java-1.6.0-sun-plugin-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm
java-1.6.0-sun-src-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm

I built them following instructions on the jpackage website, they are
intended to be consistent with Fedora/RedHat packaging.  Those install
along side the openjdk.

I want the rpm install of java-1.6.0-sun to remove the
java-1.6.0-openjdk package.  I thought the SPEC option Obsoletes would
get that. In my sun jdk spec file,  the top 100 lines of which I paste
in below. I've done something wrong, because when I install those with
the usual "rpm -ivh java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm"
then the openjdk packages are not removed.
