[Solved] Hiding the file owned by 'X' and 'Y': '/path/to/file/' output

Hello,

After Pacman runs (after installing, upgrading, removing, etc), there is an annoying output that shows:

~ $ sudo pacman -S somepackage
...........
............
...........
file owned by 'X' and 'Y': '/path/to/file'
~ $

I know that the output is (usually) caused by the --force option. How can I hide this output? I can't find it in the man page, or the wiki.

If I have read your post correctly you are getting the message because you used the force option inappropriately. Although the example pacman command does not show you using force. Do you get this message either with or without the force option?

Please post real and complete output: pseudo output is worse than useless.

And don't alias pacman to yaourt - well, that is an assumption as I believe yaourt runs testdb which is the source of that output.

LOL. Stupid me. I thought the output is from pacman. Thanks, Allan!
