Description: I think that connman unnecessarily conflicts with openresolv. After making a comparison between the files that both connman and openresolv provide, I saw that they wouldn't clash with one another. So I thought I would test to see if compiling without the openresolv conflict would cause issues.

I have been running with openresolv and connman installed on my system for some time now, and both connman and netctl seem to work just fine. But I have not ever used openresolv in any other way, so I don't know if there is some inherent openresolv functionality that conflicts with connman.

Anyway, I guess I'm just wondering if it is safe and sane to be running with both of these installed, and what the reason was for putting the conflicts=('openresolv') into connman was in the first place (it has been there since connman was introduced into the repos).

Additional info:
* connman 1.21-1
* openresolv 3.5.6-1


Steps to reproduce:
- Build and install connman without the current 'conflicts'
- Leave openresolv (and netctl) installed on the system
- Watch as both connman and netctl work perfectly (not at the same time of course)
- Profit!
This task depends upon
