Can we do an early loop of the filelist in order to check these kind of things, before we start actually extracting files? Perhaps when we are verifying the archive integrity (which is during the package loading process), although I think this would break a few abstraction barriers so that isn't the best solution either.
Don't we already have the filesystem conflict check in conflict.c for this? Actually, I saw just wondering how it could work, since we didn't look at the new files from the archive yet. But I forgot about the .FILELIST file, that's probably what is used. Maybe it could also help here to have .FILELIST extended, like Andrew suggested in another mail.
