inversed replacement question in -y upgrade run, failure to replace existing package

[fichtner]

Hello,

We have a repository that only holds python27, but a user installed python35 on his box.

During an upgrade the following is asked:

python35 has no direct installation candidates, change it to python27? [Y/n]:

Since -y is used the answer is "yes", but the command fails because python27 is already installed....

python35 has no direct installation candidates, change it to python27? [Y/n]: Y
Checking for upgrades (149 candidates): 100%

It would probably suffice if someone could explain what replacements are and how they can be disabled?

Also thought about reversing the question, because -y is not really appropriate as the "default" answer is reversed and should be "no"?

Cheers,
Franco
