Detect attempts to replace directories and report as conflicts
- Rpm cannot currently deal with directory changing to something else
through upgrades. Until now we've barfed up an ugly error in the
middle of transaction, leaving partially installed broken junk behind.
It'd sure be nice to be able to actually handle this some day, but
until then detecting and aborting early is a far better option than
the former behavior.
- There are some "only in rpm" level bizarre quirks here: packages
can work around this limitation by using a %pretrans scriptlet,
which runs before the conflict detection. But this means a possible
test-transaction (as done by eg yum) will still see the conflicts,
as we obviously dont want to run disk-modifying scripts on
test-transaction. So when looking at these removal conflicts, we filter
them out on test-transaction IFF the package has a %pretrans script
so there's a chance it might actually fix the conflict when we get
to it in a real transaction. Obviously %pretrans from any package
could in theory fix such issues, but as this is evil enough as it is,
try to limit the damage... Without %pretrans, the only other option
to get around these is manual intervention.
