multiple virtual/gail on reviving gtk+-directfb

[hi please cc me direct because i am subscribed with nomail, thx]

folks, hi,

i have a requirement to bring gtk+-directfb up-to-date [and also do
python-pygtk-directfb, which is gonna be interesting on a 400mhz
ARM9... :) have to see how that goes...]

i've taken a copy of gtk+_2.14.bb and created gtk+-2.20.1.bb with the
following, as might be expected:

RCONFLICTS_${PN} = "gtk+"
RPROVIDES_${PN} ="gtk+-directfb"
DEPENDS = "glib-2.0 pango-directfb atk jpeg libpng gtk-doc libgcrypt cups \
       cairo-directfb jasper gtk+-native"

however, err.. i'm getting this:

ERROR: Multiple .bb files are due to be built which each provide
virtual/gail (/home/lkcl/oe/openembedded/recipes/gtk+/gtk+-directfb_2.20.1.bb
/home/lkcl/oe/openembedded/recipes/gtk+/gtk+_2.20.1.bb).
 This usually means one provides something the other doesn't and should.
ERROR: Multiple .bb files are due to be built which each provide
python-pygtk2 (/home/lkcl/oe/openembedded/recipes/python/python-pygtk-directfb_2.16.0.bb
/home/lkcl/oe/openembedded/recipes/python/python-pygtk_2.16.0.bb).
 This usually means one provides something the other doesn't and should.

at the bottom is these:

PROVIDES = "virtual/gail"
RPROVIDES_${PN} = "libgailutil18"
RCONFLICTS_${PN} = "libgailutil18"
RREPLACES_${PN} = "libgailutil18"

should i be modifying these to:

PROVIDES = "virtual/gail-directfb"
RCONFLICTS = "virtual/gail-directfb"
RPROVIDES_${PN} = "libgailutil18-directfb"
RCONFLICTS_${PN} = "libgailutil18"
RREPLACES_${PN} = "libgailutil18"
etc. etc.

tia.

Are you aware that gtk directfb backend is broken since 2.18.0? And that gtk 
developers will drop it in gtk3?

 ah?  no.  bugger.  i'll drop back to 2.16 or so, then ( it doesn't
make any odds one way or the other which version is used ).

yes.  this is an "emergency" interim solution, to get product
"out-the-door".  i've already recommended that they move to
qt4-embedded, but that can't happen immediately: i _have_ to get gtk +
directfb up-and-running, for the demo.  and webkit.  and python-cairo.
 and pywebkit-gtk with patches from
http://www.gnu.org/software/pythonwebkit.  and pyjamas desktop.  lots
of packaging to do, lots of new OE bitbake files :)

apparently, i've learned almost all of the embedded products in the
space that i'm doing the work for use directfb, so many of them use
gtk and directfb.  what they _don't_ ****** well do is actually pay
any free software developers any ****** money for making use of gtk
and directfb.  so, it didn't come as any particularly great surprise
to me to learn that directfb is being dropped for gtk3.

 which means, simply, that use of gtk will be entirely dropped from
the embedded market...  eventually :)

 ... so, yeah, right now, i need to get that conflict to disappear!
