ecm and gmp-ecm conflict

Hi all, this is my first post on this forum. I'm not sure where to post this and was afraid to post this to package-bugs so I'll try here. Tried to find mention of this problem but didn't find, so here it goes:

I encountered a package conflict between packages ecm (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … 86_64/ecm/) and gmp-ecm (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … 4/gmp-ecm/). Both wants to install executable "ecm".

Re: ecm and gmp-ecm conflict

It should be fixed now, once your repositories have caught up This is the excerpt from the bug report.

I created a fork on GitHub (since ECM's upstream is pretty much dead) named ecm-tools and pushed a package with the same name in [community], replacing ecm. The package now provides bin2ecm and ecm2bin, no more conflict so I'll close the task.

I think you can go ahead and edit the title of your first post by adding [SOLVED].
