ok, so we have this problem, (can't remove a package while a sync transaction is in progress) but that's only the end of the problem, the way is long till that :) http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/conflict-remove.di... so here is a small try: - it will ask you if you want to remove the given pkg - not just exits silently without explaining what's the problem - it compiles but there is a '// XXX' where the remove transaction should be done - currently it segfaults after you answered and i have not too much idea about why so this is a "hoy hoy", i tried to do something around this big problem, but i need help, i can't solve it only by myself :) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
