>Description:
I have a binary package GConf-2.20 that conflicts with GConf2-[0-9]*. In my 
repository of binary packages, there are still packages that depend on the old 
GConf2 package, so when I pkg_add one of those packages, GConf2 gets installed 
although it conflicts with the new GConf package.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
When installing a package, check that none of the installed packages conflicts 
with the to-be-added package.
