When compiling packages using makeworld or my custom script I am getting a number of failures like this:
/usr/info/dir exists in both 'glib' and 'gtk'
What causes this?
Is there a way to fix this without forcing this packages? or better still is there a fix?
Thanks
Hello,
no package should provide that file. As a workaround ,simply remove it in the PKGBUILD. Proper info file handling is demonstrated in the file proto-info.install uder /usr/share/pacman.
Also, info files should be installed under /usr/share/info, not /usr/info. Regards Stefan
I didn't make the PKGBUILD files.
I should not have to remove anything from the PKGBUILD files that are in extra. They should just build with makepkg.
Are you saying the arch developers don't know what they are doing?
Hello, we had the ('!docs') option as default in makepkg.conf in former days, we have ('docs') now. /usr/share/info and /usr/info belonged to the directories that were usually stripped away. Now this can be a source for file conflicts. Regards Stefan
