Yes and no.

Yes, because it is currently uninstallable because of a, IMO, a bug on
the resolvers' side (but I plan to workaround it, don't worry) as
there _is_ a solution.

No, because the conflict is there to avoid installing readahead-fedora
together with whatever other readahead implementation you may choose
to install (say sreadahead, ureadahead, etc; they all provide
'readahead').

The current workaround on the users side is to install the *real*
package, not the transitional one. That is, install readahead-fedora
or upgrade from readahead, but don't install readahead.
