sreen and ncurses update error

Found this  at Arch news. How do You actually do this? (Have patience please)

"2006-12-29
screen and ncurses

For anyone having upgrade issues with screen and ncurses, some files have changed hands. These terminfo files used to be under the control of screen, but are now included as part of ncurses. error: the following file conflicts were found: ncurses: /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen-256color: exists in filesystem ncurses: /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen-256color-bce: exists in filesystem If you get this error, please upgrade screen first, then continue with the ncurses upgrade."

Re: sreen and ncurses update error

I just deleted the files mentioned, then reran "pacman -Syu"

But to update screen first...
#pacman -S screen
then answer Y to upgrade, if prompted...
then upgrade ncurses
#pacman -S ncurses

hope that helps...

Re: sreen and ncurses update error

Thanks to You stingray, it works!

My new 0.8 install seems healthy and very fast, - except when it comes to "Cheching file systems" Then it stops for a long time during the boot.
Is this normal I wondered.

Yes and no.  Large reiser filesystems can take some time to check.  You should be able to tune it to only require a check only 5 or ten boots or so, though I can't recall how.

Ah ha! Hence the long pause in my bootup. I have been using Reiser for about 6 months, because I keep hearing about the performance advantages...Does ext3 give a similar lag at bootup, I wonder?

Re: sreen and ncurses update error

Assuming the previous shutdown went fine and the filesystem got properly unmounted (so that no full fsck is needed) then it doesn't lag whatsoever.
