Hi,

Today I wanted to install the group (xorg-apps). But there is a package with the same name. I did not find a way to tell pacman I wanted the group and not the package.

I ended doing this: sudo pacman -S `pacman -Sg xorg-apps | sed 's!xorg-apps \(.*\)!\1!'`

But there must be an easier way. Any thought about this?

Regards,

Hm, crap, didn't think of that when I changed the groups and replaced that dummy package...

Anyways, I think the only way around this is by making the package disappear from extra.db.tar.gz on your system and then install the xorg-apps group. I'll get around removing xorg-apps soon, there's still a package in the repositories that depends on it.

OK. Shouldn't there be a way to check conflicts between group and package name then (I don't have anything specific in mind)? -- Cédric Girard

good question, the same happens with systemd On Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 9:18 AM, cantabile wrote:

Somewhat offtopic: `pacman -Sgq xorg-apps` has the same effect as `pacman -Sg xorg-apps | sed 's!xorg-apps \(.*\)!\1!'`
