I'm confused about what is the actual problem, and what's the solution you propose for fixing it. OK, let me explain (again.-): We have a theoretical coolplayer package, which have the following naming scheme: /usr/lib/coolplayer/2.0/ ... and also have a /usr/lib/coolplayer/current symlink, which points to 2.0. Package coolplugin installs a file to /usr/lib/coolplayer/current (so to /usr/lib/coolplayer/2.0). pacman -S updates coolplayer 2.0 to 2.1, which is a remove then install process. So the symlink /usr/lib/coolplayer/current is deleted and then set to 2.1 dir. And now the content of coolplugin is in /usr/lib/coolplayer/2.0, the package is broken, some files are out of pacman's control! Bye, ngaba
