Updates dependency/conflict checking

[Pekka Savola]

Hi,

With FC6 and updates-testing, I've gotten the following error for 
almost a week now:

Transaction Check Error:   file /usr/bin/pdftoppm from install of 
poppler-utils-0.5.4-3.fc6 conflicts with file from package 
xpdf-utils-3.01-26.fc6
   file /usr/share/man/man1/pdftoppm.1.gz from install of 
poppler-utils-0.5.4-3.fc6 conflicts with file from package 
xpdf-utils-3.01-26.fc6

Looking at CVS, this appears to have been fixed 5 hours ago [1], but 
the more generic question remains:

This isn't the first time this has happened.  Shouldn't there be a 
tool (or automatic check) with updates system that would check for 
conflicts across all the packages in "official" Fedora repositories?
