Description:

When a repository package conflicts with a local one, it would be very helpful if pacman would report both the versions instead of just reporting the conflict. For example I have libdrm-git installed and today another package requested libdrm to be installed from the repository upon -Syu (Which is a bit odd just like that anyways as libdrm-git is supposed to provide libdrm)

[root@Tachychineta | 14:25:48] # pacman -Syu
:: Synchronising package databases...
(...)
:: Starting full system upgrade...

looking for inter-conflicts...
:: libdrm conflicts with libdrm-git. Remove libdrm-git? [Y/n] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: libdrm: conflicts with libdrm-git
[root@Tachychineta | 14:25:56] #

Problems with this output:
1.) I don't get to know WHY libdrm should be installed (pacman should report why it's a dependency all of a sudden)
2.) I don't get to know which VERSION of libdrm will be installed in contrary to which version my local package is providing (of course I can pacman -Ss libdrm to find this one out)

In my case, "something" needs libdrm to be installed for some unknown reason (as my libdrm-git package provides libdrm libdrm-git libdrm>=2.3.0 libdrm>=2.3.1 libdrm>=2.3 while the libdrm package is 2.3.1-2 and my git package would be perfectly fine.) Knowing which version of the original libdrm pacman wants and to install and which local package is already providing a (maybe) lower version would speed up the problem solving process.
