pacman -Sf cups will be, for most definitions, safe. pacman will move any conflicting files to .pacorig and the user will then have to handle them accordingly.

Are we having an announcement made for this? It is not a usual upgrade.

Nothing gets lost. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=731149 - there's help for our users. I'll have an eye on it.

If you think an announcement is needed please drop a small note that pacman -Sf cups is needed this time.

We are at two forums posts and one bug report so far... so a news announcement might be helpful. Allan
