[arch-general] Manpage(s) exist in filesystem
Hi, since some days during a "pacman -Su" i get the message that some man pages exist in the filesystem and the upgrade stops. The crazy thing was that it was even a manpage from the package which gets upgraded. Because it was even only one or two files i delete them and run the upgrade again. But today with tcl there was too much files to ignore it.-) So i want to ask here if anyone has had the same problem or do i miss something what i have to configure? It is not realy a problem for mine because now i will do a de- and a reinstall (i like this more than forcing it with "-f") of this packages but perhaps there is a better solution. See you, Attila

Just a guess but have you replaced one of the /usr/man or /usr/share/man directories with a symlink? That might be confusing pacman as the new tcl installs man pages in /usr/share/man instead of /usr/man. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Thanks for the hint and as i said before: YES, i was so stupid to do this and now i have to repair it. But it is a good workout for learning more about the shell, his utilities and pacman.-)) Seey you, Attila
