[pacman-dev] Issue while testing largefile support

[Dan McGee]

Interesting debug output while testing largefile support in pacman
(http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7578):

[14:59:25] debug: adding entry 'largepackage' in 'local' cache
[14:59:25] debug: package has no dependencies, no other packages to update
done.
[14:59:25] debug: running "ldconfig -r /"

Here is the package filelist:
opt/ (directory)
opt/largefile (a 2GB sized normal file)

Notice what the above output says- that /opt/largefile is a directory,
not a conflict. Clearly a problem here. This is pacman built off my
working branch, so not including any recent patches from Andrew or
Chantry with regards to the overwrite stuff.
