Hi pacman devs, Sometimes it happens that a user has to force an upgrade because pacman detects an file conflict. Some of those cases are caused by the known link vs. regular file/directory problem. Others are caused by the fact that a file wasn't tracked by pacman before. (e.g. something that was created by an install script before and is part of the package itself now) I am not sure if the first case can even be fixed at all. So what about an variable I could define in the PKGBUILD which would handle this? overwrite=('usr/lib/somefile' 'usr/lib/someotherfile') I am not sure if this is completly insane and how difficult to implement this mgiht be. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de
