The message was: Test install failed because of package conflicts: installing package php-manual-4.0.6-14 needs 23Mb on the /var filesystem Expected Results: It should have installed the package "php-manual-4.0.6-14".

This looks more like a rpm issue than an up2date one, since it appears to be miscalculating the space required.
The message indicates that 23MB more space is needed on the /var file system.
