Re: problem with gstreamer

For future reference, you can append an f somewhere after the -S in order to have it not check for file collisions, and just install.

ie: pacman -Sf <package-name>

Cheers.

Re: problem with gstreamer

Be sure to reinstall -good if you forced the upgrade, as the -bad upgrade would erase the files after upgrading to the latest version. I don't know how pacman handles it these days, but back in the 2.x days files weren't removed from a package in the local database when a forced overwrite was done.
