Re: To anyone with Xorg-Server 1.6 upgrade *conflicts*

pacman -Qo says they were unowned, so I just forced it. Looks like they got accidentally orphaned.

Re: To anyone with Xorg-Server 1.6 upgrade *conflicts*

If you got conflicting files, why not uninstall the old package with pacman -R and then install the new package? It is safer imho.

When I type
$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so
and
$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so
it tells me that these files are not owned by any package. What to do?

Edit: I missed the post above. What does it mean that these files are "accidentally orphaned"?

Re: To anyone with Xorg-Server 1.6 upgrade *conflicts*

I am currently reading the Beginner's Guide at ArchWiki.

I am trying to install X, so I hit:

pacman -S xorg

But the files cannot be downloaded and errors occurs.
Should I try xorg-server instead of plain xorg ?

2 things.

First, start a new thread, do not necro-bump. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/For … Bumping.27

Secondly, follow the guide properly, you need to sync your mirrors first.
