Need better error message for conflicting dependencies

[cgay]

This is a terrible error message:

19:51:50 ~/dylan/workspaces/dylox (main*) 
$ deft-app --verbose update

dependencies on conflicting major versions of the same package: "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" (path: strings)

It needs to say what packages are requiring different major versions of the strings package.

These are the current "dylox" dependencies:

    "dependencies": [
        "strings",
        "uncommon-dylan"
    ],
    "dev-dependencies": [
        "testworks"
    ],

dylox requires "strings" (i.e., strings@latest, i.e., [email protected]) and testworks requires [email protected], so a better message would be:

dependencies on conflicting major versions of the same package: "[email protected]" (via dylox) and "[email protected]" (via testworks).

Not sure what "(path: strings)" is about.

I can imagine solving this by simply (!) taking the non-dev dependency ([email protected]) and continuing without a fatal error, because dev deps should never change how the main code is built, but I don't like that solution because it just defers the problem. Better to die horribly and force the programmer to update dev deps to something compatible.
