Re: Need advice on how to address possible conflict with former (no longer existing) AUR package

The problem is not that there's an alternative version, it's that there's a totally different package with the same provides On 2023/9/12 6:57, Polarian wrote:

Hello,

In order to deal with conflicts you should add the following fields to your PKGBUILD:

provides=('polyglot') conflicts=('polyglot')

This will give the user a prompt that the packages are in conflict, and will ask them to remove polyglot if it is installed, allowing them to install the VCS version.

You can also add other conflicts if needed.

Hope this helps,
