Re: [arch-general] pacman 4 logic error - what part of 'no' doesn't it understand?

I think pacman is right. What you asked would make the installation inconsistent: you don't want to replace kernel-lts and will try to install linux-lts, which conflicts with the former. I think you should first use pacman -Syu --ignore linux-lts and, later, pacman -Syu again. That will have the effect you want.

Thanks Altoé, That's what I ended up doing. Looks like it was just the naming convention change that caused the problem. The only 'bug' type behavior was that this was an 'update' so if I didn't have linux-lts installed, why was pacman trying to install it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
