[arch-general] libdts + fglrx questions
Every time I upgrade I get: ?replace libdts with libdca, and replace fglrx with catalyst. What's the difference, is it safe to say yes (especially to the video driver)? Thanks

Richard, libdts' name was changed to libdca so it is safe to replace the package. AMD changed the name of fglrx to catalyst and updated the driver. See which driver works best for you. The latest driver (7.12-2) has caused some problems; upgrade to catalyst-7.11-2 or continue using your fglrx package. -- Antony Jepson / <antonyat@gmail.com> / GPG Key: 0xFA10ED80

I remember seeing this during an upgrade a while back, and it looks like it's just a package rename. I accepted it and haven't had any problems. However, it looks like it's a library to handle DTS decoding, which I don't use since my Arch system doesn't have a DVD drive in it.

This is just a package rename as well. ATI has renamed their linux drivers to have the same name as their Windows drivers do.

Yeah, both should be fine. They're normal package upgrades, the names of the packages just happen to have changed.
