By "DIE" I mean "Let's take several minutes downloading headers,
resolving dependencies, downloading more headers, etc. and then decide
that since there are conflicts due to some subset of the packages, throw
all that work away rather than simply removing the offending packages
from the transaction set until we have a consistent transaction set and
doing the install of whatever will work."
