Hi,
when upgrading with 'pacman -Syu' I get 'Packages (3) firefox-78.0-1 xorg-fonts-alias-misc-1.0.3-4 xorg-fonts-misc-1.0.3-9', but extra provides xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.3-8, https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/xorg-fonts-misc/ , xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.3-9 is from testing, https://www.archlinux.org/packages/testing/any/xorg-fonts-misc/ .
Testing is _not_ testing repo enabled:
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep testing /etc/pacman.conf # The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the #[testing] #[community-testing] #[multilib-testing] [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$
The upgrade results in
"error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) xorg-fonts-alias-misc: /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias exists in filesystem (owned by xorg-fonts-alias) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded."
Manual intervention is needed, 'pacman -Rdd xorg-fonts-alias'.
The problem is that this is the cause for 'error: missing 'xorg-fonts-alias' dependency for 'white_dune''
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/white_dune/
and I wonder if a comment to fix the dependencies is appropriated, since actually the issue is caused by a package that should be in testing, but gets installed without testing enabled.
Why "should" it be in testing? pacman -Si reports that it is only in extra... www.archlinux.org is not updating properly to reflect the true state of the repos. That's a completely different bug that has nothing to do with this one package. Your AUR package needs to adapt to perfectly normal changes in https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/xorg-fonts-alias&id=dcd3d0ba7d39ff30e26ef55441f760d6408224fd -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
