[solved] Just a question about upgrading the kernel

Hi everybody,

I just ran pacman -Syu and I had to answer the following question

:: Replace kernel-headers with core/linux-api-headers? [Y/n]

What is the difference between those two packages and what are the implications of choosing one or the other ? What should I do ?

Thank you in advance,

yms

The short answer is, press "y".

On the other hand I hope you have read the news about updating at this time and the need to make sure that the mirror you are using is completely up to date. As for me, I'm giving it a few more days...

Thank you. I guess I did not search well enough although I did some research. I'm sorry.
Anyway I'll tag this as solved.
