Hi seth,

I believe I found a bug here.
I made my own yum-3.2.1 rpm, with some modifications to the .spec file
so that now I have :

====================
# rpm -q --conflicts yum
python-sqlite
====================

Now I'm testing whether the conflict is honoured correctly :

====================
# rpm -ivh python-sqlite-1.1.8-11.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        python-sqlite conflicts with yum-3.2.1-1.fan.noarch
====================

Okay, so rpm -ivh properly detects it. But with yum :

====================
# yum install python-sqlite-1.1.8-11.i586.rpm

====================

The conflict is ignored. Is this an expected behavior?
Since rpm properly detects the conflict, and refuse to install python
sqlite, I assume it's not rpm/librpm problem.

Using yum-3.2.1/opensuse-10.2/python-2.5-19.2/rpm-python-4.4.2-76
