Title:
  Ubunu Software Center doesn't handle packages conflicts

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  When install a deb file that conflict with another with a different
  name doesnt' offer any solution.

  be nice to offer a conflict solver.
