For example I just installed python2-tinkerer from aur, which needs python2-sphinx. I had installed python-sphinx and they interfere with each other. So I removed python-sphinx and reinstalled again.
python{,2}-sphinx are both packages from [community]. Aur helpers may differ in the quality of dependency resolution they provide. The packages in question indeed conflict out of some reason, as one can see in [1].
which seems wrong to me. Is it maybe that packages from aur don't have the same weight when checking for reverse dependencies?
What? What software is it you mean that is checking for reverse dependencies here? If a package is installed as dependency of another (unspecified) package is stored by pacman in a boolean field. please post the following command's output: $ pacman -Qi python2-tinkerer After testing it myself, python2-sphinx disappeared from the output of -Qdt, which is correct. My guess is you did makepkg, but not makepkg -i / it failed installation by pacman and you in fact don't have python2-tinkerer installed. cheers! mar77i [1] http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=p...
