Hi guys,
I've a question for you. pacman -Sdf don't force install and don't overwrite conflicting files, is it a normal behaviour? Example:
# pacman -Sdf lprng looking for inter-conflicts... :: lprng conflicts with cups. Remove cups? [Y/n] n error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: lprng: conflicts with cups
But if I download lprng package with -Sw option, then I use options -Adf I can overwrite conflicting files and so I'm able to install or upgrade (with -Udf option) lprng package. Thanks in advance for your answers.
That particular error isn't complaining about conflicts between files, it's saying that, specifically, lprng as a package conflicts with cups, ie. in the lprng package, it says conflicts=('cups') As far as I know, pacman -A doesn't calculate per-package conflicts - some difference in the codebase between -A and -U. -- Travis
