An official announcement is useful here because it requires user intervention. An install message is not appropriate (i.e. not sufficient for the problem at hand).
So, yes, if there is no other way to solve this you should post a news announcement explaining the reason why this intervention is required and the steps to take in order to solve it.
I think we can try that. I will upload the current version of packages to [testing]. I don't think it is a common practice to sliently overwrite files in /etc, but I don't understand why new files get installed as .pacnew.
I have tried the upgrade path from a clean Texlive 2012 install and it does not replace the old files.
Hi Remy,
Can you send me a pacman --debug log for the upgrade from a fresh Texlive 2012 install that shows the .pacnew being created?
I missed that these files were changing packages. This is pacman bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24543
