Problem with xcreensaver and electricsheep

I was upgrading my pacman with

pacman -Syu

and this happened...

[root@koven koven]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
:: current is up to date
:: extra is up to date
:: community is up to date

Targets: codecs-20060611-1 curl-7.15.5-1 dialog-1.0_20060221-1 gkrellm-2.2.9-1
         id3lib-3.8.3-7 imagemagick-6.2.9.0-1 ipcalc-0.41-1 ntp-4.2.2p3-1
         openslp-1.2.1-1 rp-pppoe-3.8-1 unrar-3.6.7-1 xchat-2.6.6-1
         xscreensaver-5.00-1

Total Package Size:   28.8 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  xscreensaver: /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/electricsheep.xml: exists in filesystem

errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I used to think that electricsheep and xcreensaver were indepndent packages...

Re: Problem with xcreensaver and electricsheep

I just uploaded electricsheep 2.6.8-2 which fixes this conflict. You should get the update next time your mirror sync.
