[SOLVED] Pacman Upgrade Issue

Hello,

I upgraded Pacman to the latest version and I may have messed up the .pacnew files, not sure.  Anyhow here's the issue I'm currently facing:

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman Upgrade Issue

pacman -Rd xulrunner and delete these files /usr/include/xulrunner-1.9  /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9 /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9 /usr/share/idl/xulrunner-1.9. Re-install xulrunner and your good to go. Alternatively force the upgrade with pacman -Syuf.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman Upgrade Issue

It's probably safer to do pacman -Sf xulrunner then do pacman -Syu rather then pacman -Syuf. That way if there's other conflicts you at least know about it.
