Why not report all conflicts, instead of only those on your PATH?
Because these aren't file level conflicts, as in they can both exist on the filesystem at the same time and RPM won't care. However they can lead to unexpected things due to PATH collision, if you type "foo" and there are multiple "foo"'s in your path, are you sure you know which one you'll get?
But the original problem was a file level conflict. Is it ever valid for 2 packages to own the same file?
