If you try to install packages that obsoletes/replaces others, the dialog you
get notifying about the conflict and asking you what to do is broken. You check
the "replace package" checkbox -> try again -> but it just keeps asking the
same question over and over again.

Detlef provided Pascal Bleser with this video of it:
http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/files/bugs/000000/yast.ogg

I saw it myself when trying to install libxine1 and recent mplayer packages
from packman - which try to replace existing packages - you have to make
changes manually to workaround the broken conflict dialog.

The problem wasn't always there in 11.0 - it seems to have appeared around the
end of September, I guess there was an update around that time which caused the
breakage.

This may sound like a minor inconvenience, but actually it makes multimedia
1-clicks pretty useless and makes it rather difficult for noobs to install
multimedia codecs even manually - so this is a major problem.
