I've just tried to install the stable "google-chrome" package from AUR with the command. I have all of the dependencies already installed except for these two:
- libjpeg6 (building from AUR)
- libpng12 (package found)
When the package manage tries to install "libpng12-1.2.43-1", I get the following error:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
libpng12: /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
According to the file manager (Thunar), the file /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 is a link to /usr/lib/libpng.so.
This is probably a silly question (as I'm a clueless newbie!) but... can I just delete this link and expect the installation of libpng12 to replace it so that everything will still work...?
Thanks in advance :-)

$ pacman -Ql libpng|grep /lib/
libpng /usr/lib/
libpng /usr/lib/libpng.a
libpng /usr/lib/libpng.so
libpng /usr/lib/libpng14.a
libpng /usr/lib/libpng14.so
libpng /usr/lib/libpng14.so.14

libpng /usr/lib/pkgconfig/
libpng /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpng.pc
libpng /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpng14.pc
A tip: run pacman -Qo on the file in question, either you put that symlink there yourself or strange things are happening on your system.

Thanks for the tip! pacman -Qo tells me that
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libpng.so.3
I may have created the link to resolve some other error...
Anyway, I deleted it and google-chrome installs without errors.
Thanks again!
