[pacman-dev] Fwd: [arch-dev-public] Moving arduino into [community] important notes
Issue described on pacman-dev: The 2nd issue is when people try to upgrade from an older version of arduino that provided arduino-builder. It will fail to install as the new version says "oh, arduino-builder is already installed". It then tries to remove arduino and the arduino-builder dependency is not satisfied anymore. This only affects a small number of versions, but still raise up on AUR. I am not sure if this got fixed in pacman by now. -> To resolve this issue you need to remove arduino first and then reinstall it.
From what I can see, package A provides B, but in the next update, A and B are separate packages.

The problem doesn't make sense as described; pacman doesn't count packages being upgraded when doing dependency checks. Is this the problem tested in sync-update-package-removing-required-provides? apg

That test seems to be exactly what is described. So the problem lies elsewhere... Thanks, Allan
