Re: ocaml and ocaml4 dependency hell

Fixed it with:

sudo pacman -Rdd ocaml4-ocamlbuild ocaml-num camlp4

But isn't it's being taken care of automatically?

Re: ocaml and ocaml4 dependency hell

It _is_ been taken care of. pacman should not deinstall a package you might need automagically, warns you politely that there is a conflict and asks what to do. And as paru is a pacman wrapper, it should work like pacman as far as possible.
