this behavier is *wrong*
failing because a conflict on update without even tell the user about 
them isn't the right thing to do.
what if sb has third party packages that conflicts with the new ones?
the user should be asked if he/she wants to remove this package and 
proceed (can install them after the upgrade is done) or abort the 
install to solve the problem.
