When compiling packages using makeworld or my custom script I am getting a number of failures like this: /usr/info/dir exists in both 'glib' and 'gtk' What causes this? Is there a way to fix this without forcing this packages? or better still is there a fix? Thanks

Hello, no package should provide that file. As a workaround ,simply remove it in the PKGBUILD. Proper info file handling is demonstrated in the file proto-info.install uder /usr/share/pacman. Also, info files should be installed under /usr/share/info, not /usr/info. Regards Stefan

I didn't make the PKGBUILD files. I should not have to remove anything from the PKGBUILD files that are in extra. They should just build with makepkg. Are you saying the arch developers don't know what they are doing?

But you did build them differently. Arch developers are slowly building info docs into packages, and you attempted to enable them without adding the required lines to delete that file. -Dan

One of us is confused.... here is what I did abs rsync -var /var/abs/extra ~/ makeworld --clean --log --noconfirm --syncdeps --rmdeps /home/packages/testing . the error I originally posted came from the log file Can you point out where I changed the build file/process? or attempted to enable the info files?

Hello, we had the ('!docs') option as default in makepkg.conf in former days, we have ('docs') now. /usr/share/info and /usr/info belonged to the directories that were usually stripped away. Now this can be a source for file conflicts. Regards Stefan

Ok, I see, I will just add !docs to the makepkg.conf again as the system I am building this on is an older system from last year.

here is what I did

abs

rsync -var /var/abs/extra ~/

makeworld --clean --log --noconfirm --syncdeps --rmdeps /home/packages/testing .

Can you point out where I changed the build file/process? or attempted to enable the info files?

You are obviously confused. Recently the developers stopped to strip info pages from packages , so the packages are progressively being rebuilt to support info pages as they are upgraded. So the packages having info pages can be in two different states : 1) the PKGBUILD / scriptlets were updated to support info files : these packages will build fine with the docs option in makepkg.conf 2) the PKGBUILD / scriptlets were not yet updated : these packages will build fine with !docs Since you are using docs, you will have problems with 2). A possible workaround is to add rm -f usr/info usr/share/info in tidy_install function of makepkg. If you were using !docs, you would have problems with 1). A possible workaround is to add info to DOC_DIRS in makepkg : DOC_DIRS=(usr/{,share/}{info,doc,gtk-doc} opt/*/{info,doc,gtk-doc}) The next pacman/makepkg 3.3 release will contain these two fixes.

Oh Ok, The tools are in a broken state until pacman 3.3 Thanks for clearing that up.

To be more correct and polite, let's say the packages are currently in a transition period related to info pages handling, and the tools have no workarounds for making this transition period smoother until 3.3.

Well Ok if you want to be politically correct we will say that. As you may well already know I am _NOT_ politically correct and tend to say what the situation is sans the sugar. Just don't take it badly.

I think Xavier intended to point out that the tools are perfectly sane, actually some *packages* are broken until they conform to the tools' current state. Corrado

To be clear: your point gets across much better if you're polite, and you tend to get better responses.
