Hello, I am trying to create a git package, which provides the non-git packages from [extra], in this case mesa-git. I've decided to symlink /usr/share/licenses/mesa to /usr/share/licenses/mesa-git because the latter package provides the former, and I wanted to use same license in lib32-mesa-git package, but didn't want to depend on mesa-git. Since mesa-git provides mesa, and mesa installs /usr/share/licenses/mesa directory, I provide /usr/share/licenses/mesa as a symlink to /usr/share/licenses/mesa-git. Now, when installing mesa-git built packages, I get the following: :: mesa-git and mesa are in conflict. Remove mesa? [y/N] y :: mesa-libgl-git and mesa-libgl are in conflict. Remove mesa-libgl? [y/N] y :: ati-dri-git and ati-dri are in conflict. Remove ati-dri? [y/N] y :: intel-dri-git and intel-dri are in conflict. Remove intel-dri?

The directories belong to the packages I'm trying to replace, but I am trying to replace the directories with a symlinks. Is this allowed? Should this happen at all? What would be another way to achive what I'm trying to achieve? Note that replacing -git packages with -non-git packages goes fine, no conflicts at all. Cheers. -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi.
