Hello,
Trying to do a complete system update, I get:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) cups: /etc/cups/printers.conf exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Certainly that file does exist, it probably has to in order to make my printer work.
But why
- is this an 'error' - does it block the update
???
And
- What do I have to do to enable the system update ?
And
maybe pacman could be a bit more informative in such cases ?
Ciao,
Please see the front page news. There are instructions regarding the CUPS update. :)
Regarding this, I have noticed that the printers.conf file in the package was empty (I am like 90% sure) Was it really needed to be included in that package? The install script could touch one... And I also think that it is not feasible to have to take a look at the frontpage if you upgrade like once a month, but the package creator can include a message in the PKGBUILD itself, so it doesn't seem to be a pacman flaw.
