The statement
| My package, foo-game doesn't work when bar is older than 1.2.3.
| WRONG: Conflicts: bar < 1.2.3
| RIGHT: Requires: bar >= 1.2.3
is wrong and should be the opposite. There should not be added a Requires:
when package 'foo' works without 'bar' but fails with 'bar <
1.2.3'.
Popular example is the 'kernel' package. Lot of packages won't work with
kernel 2.4 but it would be wrong to Require: the 'kernel' package.
What does Anaconda do during a dist upgrade in that case?
