Conflicting debug files between AUR packages

When recently updating I'm getting issues with conflicting files between AUR packages. For example if I install slack-desktop and then drawio-desktop-bin using yay I get errors such as:

drawio-desktop-bin-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/36/7482b7cf3d6ff358f57acd694a1acdd0302596 exists in filesystem (owned by slack-desktop-debug)

Both slack and drawio depend on eg gtk3 and is this maybe debug symbols for that? I'm not sure why I didn't have this problem before and if it's an issue with the packages themselves or my setup.

If I run for example pacman -Qo /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/36/7482b7cf3d6ff358f57acd694a1acdd0302596 I get that:

/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/36/7482b7cf3d6ff358f57acd694a1acdd0302596 is owned by slack-desktop-debug 4.36.140-1

Re: Conflicting debug files between AUR packages

Interesting. Are you trying to get meaningful backstraces, though? If not, just don't install the -debug packages.

Re: Conflicting debug files between AUR packages

Thank you for your reply Scimmia! Sorry, I actually don't know why the -debug packages are being pulled in. I just do for example

yay -S slack-desktop
yay -S drawio-desktop-bin

Maybe I have some config from before to include the debug packages or that's the default?

Re: Conflicting debug files between AUR packages

It became the default in pacman 6.0.2-9. Your helper seems to install them if they're there, no matter what. The packages are a good thing when tracking down issues and reporting upstream, otherwise you don't need them.

Re: Conflicting debug files between AUR packages

I see, thanks! Yeah, indeed I'm in no need for them atm. If someone would want to use them, is this something that should be reported to either of those packages?

Re: Conflicting debug files between AUR packages

But yeah in any case changing debug to !debug in /etc/makepkg.conf allows me to install both packages. Thanks for the help!

Re: Conflicting debug files between AUR packages

thanks, set the options in makepkg.conf to !debug worked. Conflicts were with slack-desktop and teams-for-linux
