When a conflict is detected, pacman asks if the user wants to remove
the conflicting package. In many cases this is a bad idea. e.g.
udev conflicts with initscripts (initscripts<2009.07).
Remove initscripts [Y/n]
This changes the query to [y/N].
The --noconfirm behavior has been also changed, because it chooses the
default answer. Since the yes answer is more interesting in our pactests
dealing with conflicts, I inserted '--ask=4' to all of them with one
exception: sync042.py tests the no answer.
(I also fixed a typo in sync043.py)

That is the problem mentioned by Nagy there (with suggestions for fixing it) :
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-August/009082.html
If a dependency conflicts with a local package and has to replace it,
the PM_SYNC_TYPE_DEPEND information is lost, and the resulting install
reason is wrong (the package is marked as explictly installed).
