[solved] Pacman shows Idconfig errors

Whenever I am upgrading or installing a package with pacman, I get the following printout after the operation is finished.

[2012-05-21 22:51] Running 'pacman -S flashplugin'

Why is this? What must I do to fix it?

I reinstalled the fltk package, then re-uninstalled it. Seems fixed.

Re: [solved] Pacman shows Idconfig errors

Reinstall the packages that own these libraries. I think it's the FLTK package, but I'm not 100% sure. Use pacman -Qo to find out.

Then first try to reinstall it normally.

pacman -S fltk

If that doesn't work, force it.

pacman -S fltk --force
