Listmates,
Here are some strange conflicts found during an attempted system update. Thankfully they are limited to the license package, pear and vi:
(269/269) checking for file conflicts [#################################################] 100% error: could not prepare transaction error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/FDL exists in filesystem licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL exists in filesystem licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt exists in filesystem licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/LGPL exists in filesystem
This is a pacman bug where it finds false conflicts when there is a symlink to a directory in the old package and a directory in the new one (or the other way around, I don't remember). I thought the package was supposed to be fixed, but apparently it wasn't. -Sf licenses.
php: /usr/share/pear/.registry/xml_util.reg exists in filesystem [...]
No idea about php.
vi: /usr/bin/view exists in filesystem
I had this more than once, no idea what causes it, but you can simply rm /usr/bin/view and then update.
I guess these are left overs from the earlier forced kde-unstable install.
I don't think that is the case.
I'll try an uninstall of the packages and then a reinstall and see how it goes...
That should work, too.
