[SOLVED]Replace pkg-config with core/pkgconf?
While updating the system, I got this message. Should I proceed with y/n? Are there any possible dangers ?

Re: [SOLVED]Replace pkg-config with core/pkgconf?
If you are unsure, you can generally just follow pacman's recommendation [Y/n].

https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/a … 29252.html has more information. You should answer Yes when pacman prompts you.

Re: [SOLVED]Replace pkg-config with core/pkgconf?
Hey guys,
did anyone already came across errors not being able to install or even check for packages (yaourt -Ss) afterwards? Happened to me after replacing pkg-config with core/pkgconf this morning. I can provide specific error messages once back home. Will edit this post later providing it.
Thanks in advance,
Blackbrook

yaourt does not use pkgconf or pkg-config, so this has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. Today is also a Friday, but yaourt does not produce these errors routinely every Friday... correlation does not imply causation.
On the other hand, you might wish to look at recent threads about yaourt, of which there are several. There are *always* several, after any update of *pacman*.

Thanks Eschwartz.
Solved it after updating pacman, removing yaourt - as it seems it is no supported AUR helper anymore - and switched to yay.

(Well, yay also uses libalpm.so, which means it too will break on new pacman updates. That's not really a fix, anymore than rebuilding package-query would also be a fix...)
