Well, that's not unexpected. I am guessing the whole point of the

All that under excuse of "security".
This is incorrect. Refer

So for case A) rsyslog & syslog-ng, the above document indicates that those
two packages are an "Implicit Conflict" and both should mark the other as a
conflict, as at least I see no way they can safely inhabit and run on the same
system. The only users who would not want them to conflict are the developers
who are trying to compare them, i.e., folks who know how to manipulate a spec
file. It seems that the syslog-ng maintainer has noticed, but the rsyslog
maintainer has not, yet.
Bug# 441664
case B) ccid|ifd-egate & ctapi-cyberjack-pcsc, I am not sure about... they
SHOULD work together, I have never seen an ifd-handler besides the cyberjack
cause those problems.
Thanks for the URL.
