i3-wm and i3-gaps conflict, but both are in package-group i3
Hi,
The i3 package group contains both the packages i3-wm and i3-gaps. These two are in conflict with each other. If I issue `pacman --noconfirm -S i3`, it installs i3-gaps, probably because of alphabetical sort order. Is this the intended behaviour?
Best, Jan

Indended by whom, for what?
You are supposed to select what you want to install, if you explicitly pass --noconfirm, the results you describe are to be expected.
Perhaps a slighly cleaner solution would be to not have i3-gaps in the group, but have in provide i3-wm (as it currently does). But there really is no way to alleviate the need for arch users to think.
