the patch mentioned above implements this

Well, with the latest CVS code, this patch does not seem to be needed anymore: src/pacman/add.c is already doing the job to display conflicting files (see the PM_ERR_FILE_CONFLICTS case in the switch(pm_errno) block). It all looks like the PM_ERR_XXX error code was preventing the switch to reach the aforementionned error case. -- Aurelien
