After seeing Bill's reply this makes perfect sense: anaconda (and up2date
I guess) don't care whether there is the conflicts tag or not because they
check if the newer bash would conflict with it -> it won't and the upgrade
goes on about it's business.
Thinking about all the raving one hears around the net on how carefully
the Debian dependencies are crafted I wouldn't wonder if this was actually
a feature in apt :)
