That actually isn't what Replaces does.  All that Replaces does is allow
another package to contain the same files and overwrite them.  It doesn't
cause the other package to be removed.

I think a Conflicts here in addition to the Replaces would be more
correct, since having the old library still installed causes problems
depending on the library search path.  So I think you were on the right
track originally.
