qemu-common: /etc/qemu/bridge.conf exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.But the config file in question was never owned by a package.
1 ✗ neumann@ThinkCentre ~ $ LANG=C pacman -Qo /etc/qemu/bridge.conf
error: No package owns /etc/qemu/bridge.conf
1 ✗ neumann@ThinkCentre ~ $ Why has qemu-common commandeered my custom config file?
How should I resolve this file conflict?
PS: I just saw that some config files in /etc/ are now provided by said package: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-p … BUILD#L103
I find this surprising, since I'd expect config files in /etc/ to be managed by the systems administrator and not by a package.
Hence, I am steadfast of the opinion, that those files should also be in the backup=() array.

Re: [SOLVED] qemu-common: /etc/qemu/bridge.conf exists in filesystem
I suppose the packaging team thought this file was unlikely to be actually customized?
To update it anyway, you could first save a backup, then let pacman overwrite the custom file, and finally restore the backup:
# BACKUP=$(< /etc/qemu.bridge.conf)
# pacman -Syu --overwrite /etc/qemu.bridge.conf
# >/etc/qemu/bridge.conf <<<$BACKUP(Of course if you never actually customized this file you don't need to backup & restore.)

Re: [SOLVED] qemu-common: /etc/qemu/bridge.conf exists in filesystem
Ah, you jinxed me. I also just realized that the content of the upstream file and my config file is the same.
So I'll just let pacman override the file:
sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite etc/qemu/bridge.confStill, this file really should be in backup=() and customizable.

Re: [SOLVED] qemu-common: /etc/qemu/bridge.conf exists in filesystem
Hi all
I hope you are all safe. I had the same issue and solved it as @Gyscos suggests.
Also, I agree and would not expect this. Maybe it is worth considering, in case bridge.conf already exists, a bridge.conf.pacnew is created. It would be the decision of the system administrator how to resolve it. This is also how I understand [1]. However, I might also mix things up here.
Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] qemu-common: /etc/qemu/bridge.conf exists in filesystem
The temporary backup is not a real solution, since subsequent updates of qemu-common will override said config file.
