[pacman-dev] difficult symlink puzzle, part 2.

Hi! If I didn't misunderstood conflict.c then fileconflict check fails in the following case (pacman -A pkg1 pkg2): pkg1 contains: /dir1/file pkg2 contains: /dir2/file, if /dir1 and /dir2 exists on filesystem, and /dir2 is a symlink pointing to /dir1. Much more difficult problem (and fortunately much rarer), if pkg2 creates the /dir2 symlink, so it didn't exist before the transaction. Any tests/feedbacks appreciated... How is this handled in other package managers? Bye, ngaba PS: a possible semi-solution: pacman shouldn't stop/overwrite in case of these "hidden" fileconflict errors, it extract /dir2/file as /dir2/file.pkg2.pacnew and do something at the end of the transaction. (Speed is a big limiting factor here.)
