All the python3 packages conflicted until

revision 1.12
date: 2017-12-13 13:56:10 +0100;  author: jperkin;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -1;  commitid: oId3ftm4FnPzmJiA;
python36: Disable libpython3.so.

This is a useless library (we've built it incorrectly for a long time so it
contains no valid symbols) that only creates CONFLICTS with other python3
packages.  No objection on tech-pkg.  Bump PKGREVISION.


Could it be that your installed package was built before that commit?
