[SOLVED] New gnutls package conflicts with autogen

brandnewmath · 2012-02-20 08:30:30

Hello all,

I went to perform the standard systemwide upgrade via Pacman and it looks like the new gnutls package has some files also provided by the autogen package from [extra]:

1009 james@propjoe% sudo pacman -Syu                                                                 ~ 2:19AM

autogen /usr/share/autogen/libopts-35.0.10.tar.gz
autogen /usr/share/autogen/liboptschk.m4

Is this set to be fixed in a -2 version of the package? I searched for but didn't see one in [testing], nor did I see a pending update to autogen. Should I pursue another resolution of the conflict? Thanks.

I can confirm the conflict between gnutls and autogen. Got the same error on "-Syu". My workaround for right now is to wait for either a new gnutls or autogen.

Edit: I'm x86_64 if that makes any difference.

gnutls 3.0.13-2 is now available, installed it without issue. That was a fast fix..
