The error messages is returned when doing a rpm test transaction, the 
backend (yum) just knows there is an error in the test transaction and a 
  list of errors, it dont know what kind of errors it is (conflicts in 
this case), so we just can send a signal that something is broken and 
the messages it gets from rpm.
