I'm using yum 2.4.3 as provided in CentOS 4.4. When adding packages to the installonlypkgs in yum.conf, I would expect yum to show an error when conflicting files are found when it attempts to install those packages.
Here's an example. Install your base OS. Disable your updates repo. Add php to installonlypkgs. 'yum install php'. Re-enable your updates repo. 'yum install php'. 'rpm -q php' will now show both package versions. 'rpm -V php-$OLDVER' will now show md5sum differences. Yum did not show an error when attempting to install the second php. If you attempt to install (not update) the new version with rpm, it will tell you about the conflicts. (And no, I'm not trying to have multiple versions of php on my system, it was just an easy example.) This is either a FAQ entry and/or a bug. We might also want to include a note about this in the man page.
