Failing to install vscode due to file naming conflict ?

I'm having a problem installing pre-compiled Visual Studio Code (the closed source version visual-studio-code-bin) due to what appears to be a package naming conflict with Saleae Logic2 software.

The installation fails in following way:

$ yay -S visual-studio-code-bin
....

Packages (2) visual-studio-code-bin-1.87.2-1  visual-studio-code-bin-debug-1.87.2-1

Total Installed Size:  373,85 MiB

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I seem to have found some advice to "complain to package maintainer" - but I'm not really sure what I should actually be doing here...
Is there some way I can have both Logic2 and vscode installed cleanly ?

Re: Failing to install vscode due to file naming conflict ?

Are you planning to troubleshoot/debug and register upstream bugreports for either of those applications ?

If not you don't need debug packages.

Thanks, I did not know of this feature.

For posterity, I modified /etc/makepkg.conf OPTIONS variable to "!debug" from "debug".

I presume there is no "package specific" configuration setting anywhere ? I wonder why the debug flag is on by default ? I would imagine most people are not looking to debug individual packages...

makepkg.conf has been synchronized with the flags from the devtools package which are used to build official packages.

Hmm, to educate myself, can you clarify a bit more what you mean ? I'm not clear what you mean by the devtools package here. Also what does the synchronization mean in this context ? That it has been automatically configured and it will get overwritten somehow at some point ?

The devtools package, which contains https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … 86_64.conf.
By synchronization I meant a commit to the pacman PKGBUILD that synchronized the options between the two configurations.  Your changes to /etc/makepkg.conf will not be overwritten.
