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.diff
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
