Ugh, really? I'm an idiot and never actually installed the package, and no, pacman-git doesn't handle it any better...
I'll rebuild with the links pointing the other way again, and then make a decision from there. This case doesn't seem hard but I believe it is one of our rather tricky "a lot of ways to do it wrong" ones.
Is this being rebuilt or are we going to -Sf this?
I suck. If someone else wants to simply put the symlinks back the way they were in the previous package and rebuild, that should "fix" the issues. Looking at the diff should make it fairly obvious what to do, I just haven't had the time.
So sorry for dragging this out so long. This looks like we are going to have to do an -Sf operation, only because one of the licenses went from not having versions to being versioned, which would require at least one symlink/directory flipflop anyway.
Does anyone have objections with posting a news item on this one advertising the force, and calling it a day?

No objections as long as we get this thing done.
Go for it.
I'd like to wait until 3.3.0 hits [core] then there will be no issues at all with this package. Hint hint, please signoff on pacman. :) -Dan
