When a conflict is detected, pacman asks if the user wants to remove
the conflicting package. In many cases this is a bad idea. e.g.
udev conflicts with initscripts. Remove initscripts [Y/n]
util-linux-ng conflicts with e2fsprogs. Remove e2fsprogs? [Y/n]
This changes the query to [y/N].

You need to modify "some" pactest files as well, because this patch
induces 7 unexpected fails.
Hmmm... you would have thought a two character change would cause so
much damage? Obviously not me! :P I will fix.
Imho your noyes default behavior is better... Moreover, maybe we should
also print somehow the conflict itself in warning, because 'udev
conflicts with initscripts<2009.07' (btw, why is there 2 conflicts line
udev's PPKGBUILD?) is much different from "foo conflicts with bar"...
However, in most cases that would be redundant information, so I am
unsure. (In fact we print redundant information in case of unresolvable
dependencies, too)
I can see adding this information would be a good idea. I will see if I
can do that too (it has been a long time since I touched actual pacman
code).
