Usually that get fixed by using "--overwrite /usr/sbin". But I find it wrong for tigervnc to own "/usr/sbin", so I think in this case tigervnc is not right. Would this be the case, or it's OK for tigervnc to be the owner and then to overwrite?
It is very wrong; the package doesn't even install during the post-build lint checks and should therefore never have been released by the maintainer. In upstream commit https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/commit/1af1cfdf8709dd1a5574efa19fb4f0e6... a new file got added, and installed to CMAKE_INSTALL_SBINDIR, which defaults to "sbin" and on Arch must be "bin". This failed to happen; it's a bug in the package. Under no circumstances should the filesystem layout be deleted and replaced by this package as it would break everything... https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67861 is the correct solution. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
