[Solved] When I try to run an update, python2-urwid throws...

Having upgrade troubles:

What now?  `--force` ?  No?

ise (the author of the post I linked to) is the maintainer of python2-urwid so I suspect the reason for this behavior is the same.

It seems '--force' is the right thing to do.

Thanks Karol.  I forced the upgrade and the world did not end.  Strong work.

Better would be if you do a

pacman -Rd python-urwid

and then a

pacman -Syu

That's because wicd doesn't depend anymore on python-urwid, it depends on python2-urwid.

Better would be if you do a

pacman -Rd python-urwid

and then a

pacman -Syu

If you mean

pacman -Rdd python-urwid

then that didn't work (those files remain there after removing python-urwid).

Ended up '--force'ing python2-urwid.
