Product with updateable features [message #904395]

I want to deliver updates to several features of my product. I have read the tutorial from Ralf Ebert.
In Ralfs tutorial the feature is installed after exporting the product. But I want to export the feature with my product. So I simply add the feature to my product configuration. After exporting the product the feature is already available but if I try to update this feature p2 cannot complete the install.

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
  Software being installed: Protection 1.0.1.201208281042 (com.example.mail.protection.feature.group 1.0.1.201208281042)
  Software currently installed: RCP Product 1.0.0.201208281052 (mail.product 1.0.0.201208281052)
  Only one of the following can be installed at once: 
    Spamfilter 1.0.0.201208281052 (com.example.mail.spamfilter 1.0.0.201208281052)
    Spamfilter 1.0.1.201208281042 (com.example.mail.spamfilter 1.0.1.201208281042)
  Cannot satisfy dependency:
    From: Core 1.0.0.201208281052 (com.example.mail.core.feature.group 1.0.0.201208281052)
    To: com.example.mail.spamfilter [1.0.0.201208281052]
  Cannot satisfy dependency:
    From: Protection 1.0.1.201208281042 (com.example.mail.protection.feature.group 1.0.1.201208281042)
    To: com.example.mail.spamfilter [1.0.1.201208281042]
  Cannot satisfy dependency:
    From: RCP Product 1.0.0.201208281052 (mail.product 1.0.0.201208281052)
    To: com.example.mail.core.feature.group [1.0.0.201208281052]

Any thoughts on where to look?

Thanks

You have to at least 1) relax the range requirements from the product on each feature and 2) maybe take a p2 director step.
