that kernel issue led to another...

I tried to get an alternative kernel and while installing kernel-lts I ran into a kernel panic while running with the buggy kernel 3.3.4.-1 mentioned here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140635

I'm really fond of an alternative kernel now but...

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
linux-lts: /boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts exists in filesystem
linux-lts: /lib/modules/3.0.29-1-lts/extramodules exists in filesystem

linux-lts: /lib/modules/3.0.29-1-lts/kernel/crypto/ansi_cprng.ko.gz exists in filesystem
...

I'm unable to remove and unable to install. What now ?

Re: that kernel issue led to another...

Trying to get the current liquorix version doesn't make too much sense (since it's the same version), but I still run into errors:

I've since tried to force reinstall the filesystem, upgraded the kernel but I'm still unable to install kernel-lts.

Looks like the files for linux-lts are installed on your system already but for some reason linux-lts is no longer in pacman's database of installed software (/var/lib/pacman/local).

You'll want to read this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … stem.22.21

And also "man pacman" for what the -f switch does. Use it with care.
