 This is mostly correct.  If packages have conflicts, I believe rpm will
 raise a rpm.RPMPROB_CONFLICT, which anaconda will catch and display just
 like any other rpm error.  This means it gets handled the same way as file
 conflicts, disk space, and some bizarre seldom-seen error conditions.
 You'll get the dialog telling you to go back and change package
 selections.

 In these two cases, it should act as I described above - the same way as
 file conflicts, basically.
