What files are in /usr/lib/modules/3.18.6-1-ARCH/extramodules ?

look at tree  /usr/lib/modules/3.18.6-1-ARCH/extramodules
ceton-infinitv is from the AUR.  What files are does it provide?  Look in the pkg tree of your build directory.  If.  If.  IF. iff  (this is if, and only if) -- there are no file conflicts, this may be a an example of where one might consider using --force

Re: please help with ceton_infinitv [solved]

/usr/lib/modules/3.18.6-1-ARCH/extramodules appears to be  a symlink to /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-3.18-ARCH .

The error is probably caused by the pacman 4.2 change in handling directory symlinks.

The ceton_infinitv packages will likely have to be changed to put the modules in /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-3.18-ARCH .

That solved the problem, the only warning it gave me was. but now the module is detected.

 depmod: Warning: -e needs -E or -F

I just changed the path in the package
