In build.c:checkSpec(), build dependencies are checked by creating a transaction, adding source header to the transaction and then running rpmdepCheck(). Source headers have only BuildRequies and BuildConflicts types of dependencies (no regular Requires and Conflicts). Also, source packages have no Provides, but they have NAMES. When a self-conflicting package is installed, its self conflict will be triggered by the source package name. To fix the problem, note that binary packages explicitly provide their N=EVR among Provides; and source packages provides nothing, even the name. So the solution is as simple as not to check the dependencies against package names. Update: also, do not check installed Requires against erasedPackages names.
