These packages (bijou v237 for f12 x86_64) have just landed in the 
testing repo.  I'm running bijou v236.  Smart shows the new packages as 
upgrades but when I select only the testing repo and try to 'upgrade all 
packages' nothing happens - I just see 'no interesting upgrades available'.

Trying to install eg mythtv-backend tells me 'can't install - can't 
coexist with v236'.  I get this with 'stable' and 'testing' both enabled 
too.

I've not seen this sort of thing before and I wasn't sure that removing 
v236 and then installing v237 wouldn't have side effects. (Yeechang, 
mailed by accident, says it won't).

Any suggestions?
