-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.
-
-The library can handle only one transaction at a time, and as a consequence,
-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-- If pacman is out of date, the frontend displays a warning and recommends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
