-LIMITATIONS/BEHAVIOR CHANGES COMPARED TO PACMAN 2.9

-===================================================

-

-Excepted missing features still needing to be implemented, one can

-notice the following limitations:

-

-- When trying to add a package that conflicts with an already installed

-one, pacman won't ask for removing the latter one prior to install the

-former.

-It will stop with an error code mentionning a conflict.

-

-The library can handle only one transaction at a time, and as a consequence,

-it is not easily possible to remove a conflicting package while holding

-still the on-going transaction...

-

-- If pacman is out of date, the frontend displays a warning and recommends

-to give up the on-going transanction. The frontend does not allow to

-upgrade pacman itself on-the-fly, and thus it should be restarted with

-only "pacman" as a target.
