Hi guys,
I maintain a package dex-editor-git in the AUR. It was recently reported to me that it conflicts with a package named dex present in the community repository.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dex-editor-git/
The conflicting files are /usr/bin/dex and /usr/share/man/man1/dex.1.gz
Both packages are unrelated so I believe putting *dex* in the conflicts array isn't right.
Can anyone suggest me a way to handle this, short of renaming the files?
I don't think there's anything you can do, except conflicting or renaming. IMHO, renaming the files (e.g. to dex-editor or dexedit or so) would be the better way to solve this.
