+    Handle erased packages wrt disk-space problem reporting (RhBug:561160)
+    - erased packages in the transaction cause space needs to shrink, which
+      commit 2222e81e1cf74bbf78acb9969592ab06e2289929 failed to take into
+      account, causing false disk space errors from unaffected packages
+    - adjust obneeded and oineeded when the requirements shrink
+    - new disk space problems can only occur when the requirements grow,
+      change the pmtsCheckDSIProblems() check to reflect that (although not
+      strictly necessary)
