LIMITATIONS/BEHAVIOR CHANGES COMPARED TO PACMAN 2.9
===================================================
Excepted missing features still needing to be implemented, one can
notice the following limitations:
- When trying to add a package that conflicts with an already installed
one, pacman won't ask for removing the latter one prior to install the
former.
It will stop with an error code mentionning a conflict.

it is not easily possible to remove a conflicting package while holding
still the on-going transaction...
- If pacman is out of date, the frontend displays a warning and recommends
to give up the on-going transanction. The frontend does not allow to
upgrade pacman itself on-the-fly, and thus it should be restarted with
only "pacman" as a target.
