When you tried to remove automake1.5, what other package got
removed? I wonder "why" did you end with both versions of
automake, which conflict...

- it has no real meaning, especially when there is a
meaningful package group selection during install, and that urpmi
and rpmdrake do work to install missing stuff
- currently, there are conflicts between several packages
(on purpose such as postfix/sendmail or automake/automake1.6 or
because of problems in packaging) so the installer would then
take blind bad decisions unless we do extensive testing and
fixing
- it would install many (potentially dangerous) servers
- it would install less tested and less quality software,
putting a bad image on the software we provide
- the install would take a very long time since the rpmdb
gets horribly slow when it grows

Pixel refuses to handle the conflicts during install :-((.
