There should also be checks run as a project over the whole set of
packages. I know of at least two conflicts currently in rawhide (down
from 3 assuming the new R packages got pushed out this morning) and
I think there is a another one that if I find again I'll make sure is
bugzilla'd. I have a lot of stuff installed, so I see more of these
than most people, but I am guessing there are others that I don't see.
