Re: [arch-general] conflict on /usr/bin generated by tigervnc?

Eli,

And I would like to reiterate: really, really, REALLY, do not use --overwrite unless you know what you're doing or have done as the OP did and asked (and been told to do so). The entire *point* of the option is to declare that your Arch installation is broken and you need to tell pacman that pacman is wrong about your files. By stepping off the beaten path, you incur the possibility of being wrong and making things a lot worse.

i wonder if maybe a suitable, upper-cased, warning added to the "--overwrite" section of the man page might be useful? cheers, Greg
