[SOLVED] Error: file exists in filesystem, file provided by other pkg

I am trying to install Eclipse with pacman. The eclipse package pulled libnm-glib in as a dependency, but libnm-glib could not be installed because many (perhaps all?) of the files it provides are already on the filesystem (provided by the networkmanager package). So when pacman fails to install libnm-glib, it fails to install eclipse as well. Does anyone have a good way to get around this problem? My though was to update networkmanager to say it provides libnm-glib...

Heres the output from pacman (all package files have already been downloaded):

	sudo pacman -S eclipse
	resolving dependencies...
	looking for inter-conflicts...

Re: [SOLVED] Error: file exists in filesystem, file provided by other pkg

Is your system up to date?

$ pkgfile /usr/include/NetworkManager/nm-setting-adsl.h
testing/libnm-glib
extra/libnm-glib

What's the output of 'pacman -Qo foo', where foo is some file from that list?

Re: [SOLVED] Error: file exists in filesystem, file provided by other pkg

Nope, my system was not up to date. I ran 'pacman -Qo ...' on all the files in the list, and network manager owned all of them.
Your 'pkgfile ...' output suggested that libnm-glib now owns those files...
So I ran 'pacman -Sy networkmanager' to update networkmanager, which installed libnm-glib as a dependency. After that eclipse installed just fine.
Thank you for your help.

Re: [SOLVED] Error: file exists in filesystem, file provided by other pkg

Don't do that. Update your entire system or you'll just cause yourself more and more problems.

pacman -Sy is bad.

Re: [SOLVED] Error: file exists in filesystem, file provided by other pkg

I know smile but I have a horribly slow internet connection; it took me several hours to get the eclipse packages alone. I have some work to do, and didn't want to wait a day and a half for a full 'pacman -Syu'. But, i'm inexorably marching toward that eventuality...

Got it! No pacman -Sy. Thank you kindly for the knowledge.
