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?
There's been some discussion about this. I've taken to simple use /usr/share/licenses/foo/ for installing foo-vcs package licenses to, but others have in recent discussion suggested the symlink approach you're taking.
Should this happen at all? What would be another way to achive what I'm trying to achieve?
Uninstall mesa (and related packages) first. I'm pretty sure it's a bug in pacman, but I haven't gone trawling the filed issues for it, even if I have encountered it myself.
Note that replacing -git packages with -non-git packages goes fine, no conflicts at all.
