ruby-cairo upgrade file conflicts [solved]

I did a 'pacman -Su' and it tried to upgrade ruby-cairo but it then bombed out due to file conflicts. If I do a 'pacman -Qu ruby-cairo' it says the package does not exist, even though I'm pretty sure I installed it in the past and hence why there are file conflicts. Should I force the upgrade or are there better ways to solve this?

Here's the output from pacman -Su

Targets (5): bluez-4.79-2  libx11-1.3.5-2  pixman-0.20.0-1  ruby-cairo-1.10.0-1  ruby-pango-0.90.5-3

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/cairo.rb

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: ruby-cairo upgrade file conflicts [solved]

farrel@ages ~ $ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/cairo.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/cairo.rb is owned by ruby-rcairo 1.8.0-2

So there's ruby-rcairo (what I have installed) and ruby-cairo which is what it's trying to install. I can probably just remove ruby-rcairo and install ruby-cairo.

Looks like you no longer need ruby-rcairo or that package need updated...
