We're seeing a lot of file conflicts on SUSE Studio from packages within 
the build service repositories, both conflicts between packages in 
multiple repositories and conflicts between packages within a single 
repository, that we're not catching during the dependency resolve stage. 
For example, a conflict between 'vbam' and 'VisualBoyAdvance' out of the 
emulators repo:

file /etc/VisualBoyAdvance.cfg conflicts between attempted installs of 
vbam-580svn-1.1 and VisualBoyAdvance-1.7.2-4.3

Ideally we could catch that before actually trying the RPM install.  I 
understand that zypper and yast force the installation, which is why those 
two packages install side-by-side with them, but we're not keen on taking 
that approach.
