           Summary: conflicts should allow --nosustain
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: Untargetted future release
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: Feature Request
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: sandalle AT sourcemage.org


When setting up conflicts in <spell>/CONFLICTS, we should have the option of
forcing --nosustain.

e.g.
e2fsprogs no longer provides blkid
util-linux now provides blkid
util-linux currently depends on e2fsprogs in the spell, but this needs to be
reversed
util-linux needs to be cast first (e2fsprogs depending on util-linux), but
e2fsprogs needs to be removed before util-linux (so that util-linux installs
its blkid without overwriting e2fsprogs' blkid, which would then be removed
anyways when e2fsprogs casts next), util-linux should cast, then e2fsprogs 
will
cast using blkid from util-linux.

Perhaps --nosustain should be the default for conflicts, since the spells need
to be able to force package deprecation.

Possible options:
1. conflicts <spell> [force]
Where conflicts forces --nosustain

2. conflicts <spell> [force]
conflicts_nosustain <spell> [force]

Adding a conflicts_nosustain

3. conflicts <spell> [force]
conflicts [--nosustain] <spell> [force]

I prefer #1.
