Double installation test

A new user installed TL from TUG on his Fedora system but then tried to
install a new package, not realising that he was on a system which
already had the Fedora repos [?]RPM-based texlive installed before he
started, so he got an error like this:
>> *** WARNING ***: Performing this action will likely destroy the
Fedora TexLive install on your system.
>> *** WARNING ***: This is almost NEVER what you want to do.
Does TL-from-TUG do a test before starting to see if any of the usual
suspects are already working (eg tex, latex, xelatex, lualatex, kpsewhich)?
