[arch-general] New Conflict on System Upgrade - license? pear? vi?

Listmates, Here are some strange conflicts found during an attempted system update. Thankfully they are limited to the license package, pear and vi: (269/269) checking for file conflicts [#################################################] 100% error: could not prepare transaction error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/FDL exists in filesystem licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL exists in filesystem licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt exists in filesystem licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/LGPL exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/.registry/xml_util.reg exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/XML/Util.php exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/doc/PEAR/LICENSE exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/doc/XML_Util/examples/example.php exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/doc/XML_Util/examples/example2.php exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/AllTests.php exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_apiVersion.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_attributesToString.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_collapseEmptyTags.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_createCDataSection.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_createComment.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_createEndElement.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_createStartElement.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_createTag.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_createTagFromArray.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_getDocTypeDeclaration.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_getXmlDeclaration.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_isValidName.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_raiseError.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_replaceEntities.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_reverseEntities.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBasic_splitQualifiedName.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBug_4950.phpt exists in filesystem php: /usr/share/pear/test/XML_Util/tests/testBug_5392.phpt exists in filesystem vi: /usr/bin/view exists in filesystem I guess these are left overs from the earlier forced kde-unstable install.

[arch-general] Fwd: Re: dmraid-1.0.0rc15 in testing, need you help on this! (possible Bug on Delete)
by David C. Rankin 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Heinz, I thought I would forward this one to you just in case there is a bug on the delete. It is probably just my limited understanding of dmraid, but I thought after I deleted the partition in cfdisk and then deactivated the device (nvidia_ecaejfdi) node nvidia_ecaejfdip9 should disappear? It is still there. How do I get rid of it? This is on Archlinux.

22 Jun '09

Hi guys, I put again a 1.0.0rc15 package to testing, i can't test it myself so i need you to help me on this. Is it true that name scheme changed from: name1 to namep1 for partitions? And how are your arrays named? Are your arrays assembled correct? Does everything work as before? Thanks for helping me on this, it will improve our dmraid support. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org
