When installing a new package that conflicts with another already
installed package, Software Center will silently uninstall any
conflicting packages from the computer.

1. Start the Software Center
2. Install Miro
3. Exit the Software Center
4. Start the Software Center
5. Install Gourmet Recipe Manager
Results:

Software Center should inform the user that a conflict has been detected and
ask if they would like to continue with the installation or cancel.
