[pacman-dev] replaces vs conflicts

[Allan McRae]

Has something changed in the handling of provides/conflicts/replaces.

 > pacman -Si elfutils
Repository     : core
Name           : elfutils
Version        : 0.148-1
URL            : https://fedorahosted.org/elfutils/
Licenses       : GPL2
Groups         : None
Provides       : libelf
Depends On     : glibc
Optional Deps  : None
Conflicts With : libelf
Replaces       : libelf

So the elfutils PKGBUILD has provides/conflicts/replaces=libelf.

Didn't this use to replace the package rather than causing a conflict?
