Instead of using ! why not add a CONFLICTS = " foo bar baz " line. |

Debian has Conflicts, Requires, Suggests and a few others. |
| 17 |
RedHat has Conflicts, Requires, PreRequires etc.. |
| 18 |
("it" below refers to the dependency) |
| 19 |
Requires means it is required to *run* |
| 20 |
PreRequires means it must be installed and config'd for the package |
| 21 |
to install |
